Kenzo will plant a 'field' of 200,000 red paper poppies in front of the Place du Capitole in Toulouse, France this Friday, September 4th. The poppies will remain until the following day, when they'll be given away to passers-by. The event is in honor of their poppy-inspired fragrance, Flower by Kenzo, and follows similar events around the world, the most recent in Lyon this past May. If you go, send us pictures!
Update: there will be another event on the same dates (September 4th and 5th) at Nelson Mandela Square, Sandton, Johannesburg, with about 30,000 poppies on display. Then next week (September 11 and 12), look for a field of 150,000 poppies at Castle Square, Warsaw.
