Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week wrapped last night at Smashbox Studios in Culver City, after a five-day run that included 23 official shows. Apropos of the event's green initiatives and bright, springlike signage (not to mention L.A. residents' reputation as outdoorsy nature lovers), several of the designers dressed their runways in leafy, flowery looks—from falling rose petals at Lana Fuchs to climbing ivy at Samora and scattered foliage at the Green Initative Humanitarian Fashion Show.

For Samora's presentation on Thursday evening in Stage One, ivy dotted with white flowers climbed the walls alongside the entrance to the runway and filled the basket of a bicycle meant to evoke a Paris street scene. (The obstacle caused minimal awkwardness as models passed.)
