The Design Inspiration

Hudson was inspired by the natural phenomenon of frost flowers, which is when thin sheets of ice are pushed through the stems of plants. The exquisite patterns of the thin ice often curl into petals making it seem like the ice has turned into a frost flower. Frost flowers can also form on frozen lakebeds dotting the surface with small clusters of frozen blooms in the same way that the 3D floral details dot the bateau neckline of Hudson. Hudson debuted with our first collection, but she earned a place within our Classics Collection as the years went by. Her timeless silhouette and enduring details continue to define the heart of Edith Élan.
