Here’s one trend we’ve been seeing more and more of recently, particularly in the world of accessories: Tapestry. You might also call it needlepoint, and it overlaps with other closely related terms including cross-stitch and jacquard. The feeling it evokes is very sweet and grandmotherly, which is why I especially appreciate the irony created by those bad-ass Jeffrey Campbell kitty-cat platform boots.

The 2011 Spring Thesis Collection from Sarah Richards [design intern for Opening Ceremony] is completely nutty and only in the most amazing way. This color story is inspired by her use of deep greens and the shadowy brush of the forest.
We were thrilled to recently receive an email saying that two of our prints were recently chosen to be included in the Society6 Artists collection for Urban Outfitters’ Print Shop. Our Mosaic Floral and Time Travel Totem designs can be purchased as art prints or cases and skins for iPads, laptops and iPhones.

This week I’m loving the jewel-toned palette of this gorgeous Erdem dress. It’s still colorful, but in a slightly more mellow, moody kind of way.
It’s evident that the fashion world has gone bonkers for prints lately, but it seems interior design isn’t far behind. Certain decorating techniques are more obvious and time-tested; wallpaper, throw pillows and fine china. Other examples are a little more unique, or perhaps labor intensive – such as custom wall decals or a d.i.y. fabric headboard. You can add print to your home in small touches or by the roomful, even mixing new elements with upcycled. For those who like their interiors affordable and not-so labor intensive, you may want to take note of the highly anticipated Missoni for Target collection hitting stores September 13th. With over 400 items offered in Missoni’s signature patterns it is now that much easier to bring a bit more pattern into your home.
