With the anticipation of this September Issue and New York Fashion Week in full swing it seems only appropriate that one would "a-dress" the idea that while designers unveil the latest fashion trends of the season on the runway, textile designers and furniture manufactures are paying close attention to the pulse of the Fashion World and recreate these influences in the workroom.
"An interior is the natural projection of one’s soul, and Balzac was
right in giving it the same importance as to dress". - Coco Chanel
In the same way that clothing designers belive that a persons "look" and the way they furnish themselves with the clothing and accessories of haute coture and ready to wear creations reflects ones outworldly ideals and underlying layers of oneself, so too does the way that one adorns and embelishes their living spaces, work places, and areas of recreation and relaxation with furniture and objects meant to envoke a subconsious feeling, encourage functionality, or provide a framework and canvas for expression and meditation.
"Furniture is the clothing of life … One’s furniture reveals one’staste and the quality of one’s spirit. Furnishings are incorruptible witnesses, condemning or glorifying those who own them". - Henri Fourdinois
