Flowers speak the same language around the world. That's the secret of success for Paris floral designer Christian Tortu. Tortu has new boutiques in New York, Singapore, and Taipei. All of them use the same extraordinary mix of flowers, fruits, and vegetables. Tortu began his career fifteen years ago.
People make pilgrimages just to see the charming window displays.
Tortu tells me he believes they want to see beautiful, natural arrangements to soften the hard edges of life in the city. We know definitely people want to be more natural. It's the same with food and clothes. I think more and more people are living in cities, but a lot of them are coming from the country. I think when they arrive in the city, after a short time, they need to have something coming from nature.
