textile inspiration

Here is some inspiration I've been collecting for textile designs.  

I am drawn to neutral things and earth tones (and black) as a rule.  I love texture, tribal references, historical indigenous patterns or natural geometrics.

With summer coming, I've been infusing much more color into my life.  I've always loved color, but I can be wary of them.  As I start wearing more color, I am finding that I use more in interiors.  I've been lucky to have clients that know what they want & many want color.  Many also have young children.  This has me thinking about fabrics that we can all live with and love, no matter our age.

And don't even get me started on stripes.  When in doubt, a classic stripe (awning, ticking, anything!) works in all environments.

Gaia Repossi is so young (20) and so chic.  She is the artistic director of Maison Repossi and I can't get enough of the minimal jewelry.  Her influence of the family's famed jewelry house resulted in collaboration with Alexander Wang for his F/W '11 show as well as Joseph Altuzarra for his F/W '11 show.

just some inspiration

I miss not having any opportunities to go to the new york shows.  I miss the buzz that surrounds that week.

Thanks Tommy Ton for most of these shots.
