FASHION Home Decor

Let’s get inspired today with a little fashion and decor.  Fashion really does go hand and hand with interior design, both industries use pattern, texture and color to create a design.  With a degree in Fashion Design & Merchandising it gave me a real love and understanding for textiles and pattern.  When studying aboard in Paris I had the opportunity to visit some of the top design houses and attend some amazing fashion shows.  When I was there I took the tram everywhere and quickly fell in love with so much of the cities architecture and interior designs.  So it was no surprise that eventually I would get a second degree and study Interior Design then work for some of the top hospitality firms in California.

Oscar de la Renta

oscar-de-la-renta-portraitLegendary fashion designer Oscar de la Renta has passed at 82.  He was best known for dressing some of the worlds most famous women including Jacqueline Kennedy, Laura Bush, Oprah Winfrey and recently designed Amal Alamuddin wedding dress.   Before I was in the interior design industry I was working in the fashion industry for many years.  I had the honor of meeting this lovely man years ago in Dallas when I worked for the company, he was such a gentleman and so kind to me.  It seems like yesterday I was attending one of his fashion shows and merchandising from store to store.   It saddens me but we all know that his legacy will live on and continue to shine.  One my favorite quotes from him was, “The qualities I most admire in women are confidence and kindness.”   Oscar had recently launched and added a home collection which includes table settings, entertaining essentials, gifts and rugs.  Here is a look at some of his amazing fashion designs.
