Now here’s a type of design that we think works anytime of year – Asian geos and florals. They seem to be popping up in all types of surface design, from the runway to dresser drawer knobs. The ornate clutch from Topshop is particularly drool-worthy.
V&A
Last month my husband and I took a quick trip to England, visiting his dear family and a few friends. With only one afternoon spent in London, we made it a priority to visit the Victoria and Albert Museum of art and design, a phenomenal source of inspiration for surface design! Unfortunately both the fashion and textile wings were closed on my visit, however the exhibits I did manage to see [and the gift shop] quickly propelled this museum to the top of my favorites list. I apologize for the window glare and lack of detailed notes, but had to share these anyway. Hope you enjoy!
