Well he did it again. Mr. Ralph Lauren set my heart a flutter with his Milan Spring 2020 Ralph Lauren Purple Label designs. This French Riviera inspired collection offered silk shantung suits in bright yellow, emerald green, tangerine, and pink. My, my, my.
His art deco poster-inspired sweater might have made me drool just a bit. And the fashion to home translation has been reeling in my mind since! Thinking that sweater would make a swoon worthy throw pillow.
It is not that I haven't been inspired by the colors of Cote d'Azur before and the navy and tangerine shades have been part of the signature of Ralph Lauren apparel for some time. What makes by breath catch a bit is the bold, without apology, way the combination of four colors is introduced in this collection. And then these four colors that can stand on their own are presented in a monochromatic and mixed draping in a most dapper way.
I'm daydreaming about all the spaces this inspiration will bring Cote d'Azur to a home. I am convinced more and more that the individuality of our home is no longer defined so much by its architecture or period style. Our homes have become inspired by those places we have taken as our getaways and now have realized what we loved about those places on the map can be what we live with in our home design.
Whether an entire room's color palette or the only color amongst naturals, let it be a color that holds meaning and memory. That green that reminds of us the sway of the palm trees or the plate that held that delectable lunch at that adorable cafe. Or the colors of the landscape of buildings.
This fashion to home translation may not even mean adding new pieces, but simply changing the wall color or wood finish on the pieces we love.
Who knows, it may even begin at our front door - literally.
Be inspired! And thank you Mr. Lauren, once again!
