ANALYSIS OF GREEN

SEEING GREEN

On my recent travels green hues has caught my eyes everywhere. The answer is blowing in the wind... I predict that GREEN will be important.

Scandinavian blonds: Washed pale hues of green seen on vintage doors and paneled walls in decay.

Beautiful shades of weathered slate.              

The irresistible combination of green and pink. 

No wonder were Consuelo Castiglioni or Miuccia Prada get their inspiration for their quirky color combinations. Eye popping tiles everywhere you turn.

Poison Ivy greens on interiors. Velvet furniture, brocade tapestries and wollen carpets.

FOR THE LOVE OF OLD

REFLECTIONS FROM PITTI FILATI

I was amazed when discovering these vintage fabric files from the Book Stand at Pitti Filati. They were to me the most inspiring at the entire fair. While the yarn manufacturers where mostly into fancy yarns, wax coating and shiny lurex blends, these books said a quiet hello with their dusty presence. Countless fabric swatches, neatly prepared from the teeth of zigzag scissors were telling stories of various collections.

The ancient art of book binding: distressed leather covers, featherlight separators and faded paper sheets.

Precise, classic graphics

The idea of reusing the files again and again..

Ceaseless choices

And the liberating variation of color and style! You can find inspiration in everything.
