Today I collected together a little group of mismatched, brightly coloured fabrics for some cushions for a client's sofa. I never tire of putting different fabric combinations together and I always try to make sure each client has a different combination so as to keep their look unique to them. Lately I have been so inspired by fashion and the combinations of different fabrics fashion designers have been using in one outfit. I love the way Easton Pearson mixes fabrics and incorporates beading, frilling and special details in their designs. The top image is actually a collection of Easton Pearson dresses from 2008. I like the colour combination used in those 4 dresses and would love to create a room scheme using this image as inspiration.

Gorgeous dresses and fabrics...you always have the most wonderful vision!!
I just have to say I'm ridiculously fascinated by your blog.
I love how fashion inspired your design for the pillows! I truly believe the two worlds can always compliment each other. I loved the bird fabric and all the vibrant colors. Now, I'm ready for spring! :)
Dear Anna,
Are you familiar with John Robshaw textiles? www.johnrobshaw.com. Check out his "Souk" line as well as his fabrics and pillows. So much fun!

Love this! I love to see the entire process, where you first got your inspiration, to the fabrics you are picking. Great post.

PS: talking about color... come see my post today: Colorful Interiors.
And I never get tire of looking at the way you put fabric combinations together! Your color and pattern combinations inspire me. LOVE.
What gorgeous colors!! And I wanted to wish you a Happy Australia Day! xo Samantha
I love mixing colors, especially ones that people think can't work together. Runway fashion is a great source of inspiration for chic combos of color, pattern, and texture. Those fabrics are beautiful! I especially love the one with the bird/animals.
Loving this mix of brights and that bird print is just fabulous!

Loving these bright and bold combinations!
I love your color choice and pattern combos. It's bold and fun yet elegant.
What a happy combination!! LOVES! Absolutely bananas!!!
The Easton Pearson range of floor rugs (Designer Rugs)are a perfect example of how their bold use of colour and print works so well for interiors!!! The Favorita will be mine.. one day!
