textile and terrain

Probably my favourite Erdem yet – love the increased slacks and limited lace. The Nicholas Kirkwood flats are heaven. HF.

Comfort is key for Resort 2014. From top: Band of Outsiders, Marc Jacobs, Marc Jacobs, Reed Krakoff, Reed Krakoff, Max Mara (the MM show was a super awesome return to form – check it out here). Images from WWD. HF.

Some Dagobert Peche for your Tuesday; he of the Viennese, folk-baroque textile designs of the early twentieth century. From the collection of the Metropolitan Museum of Art. HF.

Ulyana Sergeenko Spring Summer Haute Couture 2013, photographed by Nicholas Sushkevich. Adore those folk-nostalgia box purses. HF.

I love that Japanese designers do Anglo-Celtic-chic so well – when I was there I felt as if every second store was made with me (and me penchant for a woollen, Hebridean aesthetic) in mind. But I never came across Sally Scott. Just look at her catalogue imagery – heaven. Images from Autumn & Spring catalogues, and Spring 2013 spread, above. Who’s going to Japan next? I’m putting in an order.HF.

Wowsers. Wies Preijde‘s Tegendraads installation in her office space, using thread to create trompe l’oeil hallways and rooms.

Congratulations to the Australian Fleming’s Nursery / Philip Johnson Landscapes and their Trailfinders show garden for their Best in Show win, after nine years exhibiting! Images second and third from top. Love the tree ferns but wish there were more detailed images of the plantings. Others that caught my eye were Laurent Perrier (fifth from top), Arthritis Research (fourth from top) and Daily Telegraph (top). It’s very nice to know that there is now a Chelsea Fringe festival, embracing the less monolithic/glamorous of horticulture, images above. HF.

Update: here is a list of the plantings!
