It started with this fabric from Ralph Lauren...
and snowballed from there...
I'm really loving the revival of Aztec, southwestern prints and textiles. One of my favorite things about design is reinventing outdated styles and right now there are so many great designers creating new spins on this old trend. For me, I actually think it may have started with Gretchen Jones' Project Runway show last year. Never before had southwest been so appealing to me and I have been forever changed and now I can't get enough.
It took some beggging, but I convinced a client of mine to use that Ralph Lauren fabric for part of there bedding in their master bedroom remodel. I assured them that by taking something unexpected and seemingly off-trend and outdated like an Aztec style print and putting it in a modern setting, that is how great and really interesting rooms come about.
I cant wait to see how it turns out. I watched the Oprah episode ft Ralph Lauren and his Ranch. SO beautiful. There is something classic about the Aztec print...I think it just needed to be taken out of the pastel 90s version and into the muted rustic colors. Everyone is into it this season!
