Here is a sampling of what caught my eye and I am loving from Paris Deco Off 2014.
Osborne and Little is betting that trims are going to make a comeback; putting their money on their new Cornish Trim collection shown in this stunning display window reminiscent of Little Mermaid.( It won Best Window!) I am a “more is better” person so my fingers are crossed that passementerie is chic again.
Embroideries were EVERYWHERE . The next one was more beautiful than the first. Companies are exploring new grounds, mixing machine- made with hand done and bringing back techniques that was almost gone.
From Pierre Frey’s Aloha Collection
Traditional florals on silk by Elitis
Applique and embroidery from Pierre Frey
More embroidery from Pierre Frey- this time with pearls.
Intricate wool leading edge applique with metallic highlights on Fortuny.
Wool and velvet take it up a notch. Wool in all weights was presented and Velvet became more baroque – certainly in the complex finishes and weaves.
Holland and Sherry introduced a custom quilted wool collection. You pick the wool, yarn color and quilt style to customize your looks.
Cassaro fabrics from Houston is always a favorite. Here is a jacquard cut velvet that has been overprinted with a rose pattern. Stunning!
Romo Black Edition was searching for a permanent embossing techniques so they used long nap velvet, embossed I;t then cut the nap to create this permanent moire inspired pattern- and it’s soft as buttah!
