Colour-block.

Following my mention of colour blocking trends for this summer, here are a few select few from the high-street, along with some personal likes. Dreaming of beaches, sun and a new season……

DVF and summer.

This summers catwalk trends are out and the high street window displays look amazing. Colour blocking is everywhere and the prints are bolder and brighter. This brings me to Diane von Furstenburg’s Spring/Summer 2011 collection which I love. This is a woman renowned for her iconic prints and the wrap dress. Off the catwalk she recently launched a Home wear collection at Bloomingdales in NYC, inspired by nature and art. You can see it in full by clicking here. Some are wilder than others and I would prefer to use some of her dinnerware in a more subtle way rather than mixing it altogether. We are seeing more and more designers applying their fashion prints to products and interiors so this is nothing overly new, nonetheless I think the marriage between the two is inspiring and DVF’s printed fabrics are fabulous!

A little beauty of a film all the way from San Fran…..

I thought I’d give Aaron De La Cruz a mention. His work is beautiful and you can check out his talent and freestyle signature in the video.  Nicely shot, relaxing and inspiring all the way from San Francisco by a friend of mine Rick Symonds……..looking forward to seeing more work from these two, in the not so distant future!
