Clean, classic shapes get an updated look with black-and-white prints and a hint of purple–in this Versace stunner as well as this Julie Grisham-designed living room in Little Rock (the architect was Phil Purifoy).
At Home Hits the Runway 3.25.10
Considering Emilio Pucci was founded in Capri, nearly 40 years ago, it’s not surprising that a Pucci look would complement this Mediterranean-style outdoor space gracing the pages of our March Outdoor issue. Photographed by Nancy Nolan and designed by P. Allen Smith, it’s the Little Rock backyard (oasis) of Chip and Cindy Murphy.
(Sneak peek: Pucci was the inspiration behind one of our real weddings in our Spring/Summer 2010 Weddings issue, which we sent to press yesterday!)
Color Inspiration: Pantone Fashion Color Report Spring 2011
This just in: Pantone has released its Spring 2011 Color Report! Described “An Exotic Journey,” the spicy palette was inspired by faraway destinations like Africa, India, Peru and Turkey. Says Leatrice Eiseman of the Pantone Color Institute, “These unique color combinations make it possible for consumers to pair existing pieces in colors traditionally associated with fall, with new favorites to punch up springtime wardrobes.

at home hits the runway in elie saab
Elie Saab’s dreamy Spring 2012 runway collection featured a virtual rainbow of colors, not unlike the fantastic paperweight collection we featured in our Jan/Feb issue! The colors make them both an utter delight to look at, especially during the gray days of winter, don’t you think? In fact, the collector displays her paperweights as a pop of color in her formal living room for all to see! Check out the full story on these paperweights here, and for the full effect of Elie Saab’s collection (lots more looks on the runway!), click here.
