I’m getting really stuck on this fashion vs interiors conversation…not surprising since I’ve been saying for years I want us to be the first designers to start our own fashion line. Oh so little time!
So having adored this summer’s Christopher Kane gingham collections, when I stumbled across this Diana Phipps interior this week it got me thinking.
Now, at the risk of alienating ALL my clients…I do think there is something to this bathroom. While the 70’s room looks extremely dated..I’m dead keen on the gingham ceiling. Diana laminated the tub in gingham plastic (yikes), but I’m not a great fan of clawfoot tubs at the best of times.
Ceilings though…yes yes yes.

Nicki I can definitely say that interior design and fashion inspire my art constantly. I am now working on a pair of canvases that i want to look like antique tapestries!

I adore gingham so I would have to say the tub has a certain charm, not in plastic though! Love it on the ceiling and just about anywhere else.
Karena, sounds very interesting…look forward to seeing them posted.
love that ceiling too. Yes, fashion seems to be vital and moving while design stands still(ish).Gaye
No period’s decor is ever a total loss, so the ability to spot find things of value in barren fields is as critical for a decorator as it is for an archaelogist. Your clients should applaud your catholicity of taste, not fear it.
