Crossover Between Fashion & Interior Design
November 6th, 2009We know that sometimes this crossover is not always a good fit, but when they come together just right, it can be beautiful. Decor and couture have often had ties to each other historically, and the styles and trends sometimes even follow each and become intermingled. Recently it has become more and more common that a fashion designer will design a room, building or product. Similarly an interior designer might also put out a fashion line.
“I’ve long believed that the eye runs naturally from the catwalk to the kitchen.”
Anna Wintour, Editor of US Vogue
Here are a few of our favorite crossover designs that we’ve seen recently. Click any image for a larger version.
This THG line entitled “POEMES by Chantal Thomass” was designed by the French Lingerie Designer Chantal Thomass. To decorate the bathroom, THG and Thomass revisit the tradition of the boudoir with ultra-refined and super-chic fixtures crafted from white porcelain and decorated with delicate silver borders. The collection hints covertly at sexuality with plenty of frills, ribbons and flounce. “Where at home can you hear the gentle murmur of flowing water?” said Thomass. “Where can you make yourself as beautiful as you can be? Because it is more than a simple room, because it is a prelude to the game of seduction, I choose to transform the bathroom over in our own brand image. It is now a space for lovers alone; a place of total seduction.”
