Fashion designer Matty Bovan debuted a collection of fashion ensembles from dresses to rich, layered separates on the runway this past Fall in London.  To me, his ready-to-wear Spring collection channels that nuanced, layered feel that a beautifully decorated old home holds-- a beautiful home with a past, one rich with textiles and woven together in a way that is curated not overly decorated.  Ok, ok maybe it's a stretch to equate this fashion collection to old, historic homes but I'm first and foremost an interior designer, so I tend to go there! 

Vogue called his collection "optimistic and joyful" and to me, it was that and yet it was over to top (in a good way-- meaning in a way that inspires us to do better, create more and think outside the box) and yes, while it incurred a feeling of luxury, many of the designs wore a combination of everyday items woven together with rich ball gowns and towering high hair ensembles and myriad textures.  The show squarely places an importance on individualism and creativity. As a textile designer and interior designer, I find that wonderfully refreshing, and made me feel, well, optimistic! Take a look at some of my favorites from the show...

Happy Nesting
