How about a little runway fashion for some home goods inspiration? Dsquared² always delivers high fashion, high energy, high glamour looks that I covet each season. I've taken some looks from the women's Spring Summer 2013 show and created some pillows to toughen up every glamour girl's bedroom.
For the Central Coast home I've been working on, there is one room that I am particularly excited about - the Kid's Room! It's planned to be a "bunk house" with multiple beds and a small media center to keep them entertained when the beach is closed.
The easiest solution for a seaside Kid's Room is pirate ships and sea shells. But, I'm hoping to accomplish a more versatile design that can easily grow with the children.
Since we are on the subject of the seventies, and I haven't done a fashion feature in a while, let's get sexy for some Boogie Nights!
I'm in love with this Gucci Aristographic Glittered Plexiglass Clutch! It wreaks of excess which is what disco was all about. The application of glitter on the plexiglass reminds me of some piece of delightfully tacky seventies furniture or art.
I've always been a huge fan of the seventies. Disco, roller skates, sequins, Studio 54 and scruffy guys in tiny shorts. Not so much seventies movies, but love movies about the seventies (i.e. Boogie Nights and American Hustle).
Most people would associate an Interior Designer with only the furniture selection for a residence. The common misconception is that we just pick out pillows and chairs and sometimes paint colors. That's why we stress the difference between a "decorator" and a "designer". On a ground up construction the Interior Designer is often consulted on the smallest design aesthetics like door knobs and base boards, and usually continuously works with the architect revising the floor plan.
It's that time of year again! The Autumn-Winter 2014 Fashion Shows are invading the runways. I always check out my favorite shows first (DSquared!). But, I was pleasantly surprised to find a new brand to covet - Andrea Pompilio.
The above photo is from the offices of Dallas Amante. An inspiration board for a residential project by the sea! I'm sharing this with you to allow you to see how fashion, color and texture inspire me as a designer.
