Design Meets Fashion: Tropical Colors
Now that April showers are behind us, it’s time to really break out some color! Though I tend to a minimalist palette, it’s tropical spaces such as this that inspire me to add some brights to my décor and closet, adding a fun and cheerful vibe. (Images via The Berry & French Frosting.)
Design Meets Fashion: Asian Prints
I am consistently inspired by Dries van Noten’s prints, most recently his Asian prints for fall/winter 2012. There is a modern twist on them that is playful and chic, much like this mid-century modern sofa with vintage ukiyo-e style prints. (Images via Dries van Noten & Pinterest.)
Design Meets Fashion: Lace & Die Cuts
White lace and die cutting are two trends that have been going strong for a couple years now, and in the 2013 collections Valentino meshed them together with beautiful floral die cut dresses. His intricate work reminded me of the NYU Philosophy Department by SHA. Both works are incredibly charming in their detail and whimsical [...]
Design Meets Fashion: Here’s to 2013!
Happy (almost) New Years! What are you up to for the New Year? I’ll be in New York celebrating with friends in a rustic house in the woods. Not at all the loud glimmering party of traditional New Years, but I’m planning to spice it up a bit…maybe with some silver sequin pants and a [...]
Design Meets Fashion: Navajo & Aztec Inspired Prints
While Navajo and Aztec inspired prints are trendy on a national level, here in the southwest they are more of a staple style, which stems from our region’s history. Although Aztec people come from Mexico and Navajo people from the southwest (or technically Canada and the Pacific Northwest), their is a lot of overlap in [...]
Design Meets Fashion: Mountains Upon Mountains
As winter approaches each year, I always try to plan a trip up to the snowy mountains of Lake Tahoe. When I saw this friendly sweater from Swallow’s Return, it made me excited for the winter, for hot cocoa and crisp cold air and charming woodsy environments. And I love that despite the snow on [...]
Design Meets Fashion: Wicked Black & Orange
Happy Halloween! In celebration of this spooky holiday, I found two examples of good uses of black and orange used together. While orange interiors usually connote images of the Brady Bunch, this modern sofa and surrounding decor is decidedly cool and Zen. And paired with rust orange shoes, orange sweater with black jeans are surprisingly [...]
Design Meets Fashion: Midnight Glamour
As I’ve said time and time again, I am a sucker for black and white and everything in between. So when I saw this gorgeous dress by Dries van Noten I swooned. There is a fun patchwork DIY quality to the dress (despite how well made I’m certain it is) with the contrasting fabrics inserts [...]
Design Meets Fashion: Mixing Oranges
I feel so safe in my black, white and grays that sometimes I need to see pops of color like this to remind me of how powerful and fun color can be. Especially as we move into cooler temperatures and cloudier skies, it’s nice to have an energizing flash of color to lift our moods, [...]
