In general, the substances used for interior architecture live in a world, while the substances used for clothing are present in a separate area. But this spring, a collaborative project called “In Bloom” pushed back against these limits.
For the project, Anne Pappas Interiors worked with the SCAD student designer Olivia Rushing to create a collection of clothing with high-end fabrics that are usually reserved for interior. The fabric came from Pierre Frey – a renowned French manufacturer of luxury substances, wallpaper, carpets and furniture.
“This collection is inspired by the living, fresh energy of a Parisian fabric line that translates into the range of low -country in spring,” says Anne Pappas, owner and main designer of Anne Pappas Interiors. “It is a season that is known for its awakening colors, rich textures and natural beauty. The items of clothing that have designed and created olivia have feature fabrics that were normally used for the creation of high-end home rooms and were redesigned in the form of fashion. These substances that are designed for their tactile beauty and their luxurious feeling Life.”
The SCAD fashion student Olivia Rushing (left) designed several clothing styles, including an asymmetrical skirt, palazzo pants and a two-part skirt and a top set. “This project was a great learning opportunity for me,” says Rushing. “As a student, I have improve my skills in terms of design and construction of clothing, but this project gave me an insight into the design commission and the cooperation with design meetings, equipment and photo shoots.”
