The fabulous Isaac Mizrahi, award winning couture designer and the original "make it affordable and available at Target" designer has just introduced his first collection of fabrics for use in home decor. I was lucky enough to be invited to a luncheon at the S. Harris showroom in the San Francisco Design Center earlier this week, where I was treated to a wonderful presentation of this new collection, as well as a delicious lunch.
The fabrics in the collection are incredibly unique and fresh, and you see many of the bold colors that he favors on the runway show up....vivid reds, oranges and greens appear in a wildly over-scaled chintz, and then reappear in both delicate sheer linen and a beautifully detailed medallion metlasse. Metallics also showed up in unusual places...woven into a cotton twill, washed over a richly colored linen, and flecked through a chenille. It's a really interesting and fresh take on decorative fabrics, and I hope to be able to use some of them soon for a client or two. I love the connection between fashion and design, which really makes this collection different from more traditional fabric collections.
Like all the best fabrics, these are only available "to the trade" through the S. Harris company, so call your Interior Designer if you want to take a closer look. I've noticed that most of the design magazines have mentioned the new collection, and I'm sure it will be widely advertised in the coming months, so keep your eyes peeled for some pretty pictures.
