“I have always been obsessed with
fabrics, colours and textures...and
I have always wanted to have my
own collection of textiles.” CAROLINA
IRVING says she loves colours, but in an
impressionistic way, mixing different
patterns similar to a Vuillard painting.
She has ransacked sources in France,
England, Sweden and India for her toiles
and chintzes, and in Turkey, Greece
and other Middle
Eastern countries for
riotous colours and
patterns that she
has reinterpreted.
The collection
includes several
multi-coloured designs, many others
printed in single colours both in large and
small patterns that all work together.
Hand-printed in charming colours, the collection includes both large and small designs
Virginia White
When it came to creating
her fabric designs interior
designer VIRGINIA
WHITE chose to collaborate with artists in
order to create fabrics that
look like paintings and
artworks. Virginia gives
the artists she works with
pictures, photographs and
works of art that have a particular significance to
her - often related to her time in Scotland - for
them to produce the design. She then works on
the screens herself so that she can create exactly
the right shades and balance of colour. Virginia’s fabrics are all about colours and painterly
patterns, they are all hand block printed in London on Belgian linen.
