The simple answer yes,, fashion and interiors have always been linked one way and another, however today it is much more evident. So what changed? Of course the internet changed everything but personally I think Pinterest had the greatest affect on making these two areas of our lives more homogeneous.
There is another recent change that has become very apparent, that fashion brands have moved into homeware and some of these are big hitters
• French Connection
• Fendi
• H&M
• Zara
• Gucci
To name but a few
Keeping an eye on fashion helps to keep us aware of potential up and coming trends. One of my favourite sites for spotting what will come up next, or what is moving particularly into the wealthy end of the middle market is Anthropologie as they have a really good finger on the pulse of that market. So when Anthropologie sends me a newsletter saying that the 60’s are back, that says to me that Mid Century is still bang on trend and set to stay for a bit longer. Many of our stockists and users of Fleur Paints are busy with Mid Century pieces, let’s check a couple of our favourites out
