RUNWAY COLORWAY
There’s rarely been a time when fashion hasn’t influenced interior design, but none more directly related than the new collaboration between perennial design house Schumacher and fashion designer Johnson Hartig of Libertine. “Johnson’s unique rule-breaking sensibility has always intrigued me; it’s full of exuberance but very sophisticated at the same time, so it aligns amazingly well with Schumacher’s DNA,” Dara Caponigro, creative director of Schumacher, says. The completely original fashion designer also has a passion and understanding of decorating, which makes his designs both enlightened and functional. According to Hartig, you can expect a collection full of exuberant color, texture, patterns, classicism, and modernity. Available to the trade. karensaks.com
ENGLISH LACE
Charlotte-based designer Holly Hollingsworth Phillips of The English Room has teamed with well-known Atlanta designer Beth Lacefield, owner of Lacefield Designs, to pull together a range of patterned fabrics inspired by global travel. Phillips’ bold colors and lively patterns were an ideal match to Lacefield’s classic, traditional style. Both equally passionate about travel, Phillips and Lacefield created each pattern inspired by a specific travel image. “For example,” Phillips explains, “the stripe is based off a watercolor ceramic bottle of olive oil on the coast of Positano in a restaurant called Lo Scoglio.” As she puts it, it is pattern-play perfection. The collection features fifteen textiles available by the yard and a collection of seven pillows. lacefielddesigns.com
THE NEW ELEGANCE: STYLISH, COMFORTABLE ROOMS FOR TODAY BY TIMOTHY CORRIGAN
Renowned interior designer Timothy Corrigan has landed on the AD100 list of interior designers on multiple occasions not just because he’s a well-known name, but also because he’s incredible at what he does. In his latest book, The New Elegance, Corrigan tips the scales to and fro as he demonstrates the balancing act so many try to achieve in design—visual elegance and gracious comfort. “Comfort is not antithetical to elegance, but rather its support and backbone.” On October 21, Corrigan will be in Charlotte for a Q&A with HD&D editor in chief Ashley Hotham Cox followed by a book signing at Anne Neilson Fine Art Gallery.
