Scroll through the Spring 2011 collection from Dries Van Noten for simple designs with splashes of color. The soft limey-yellow on the white background is stunning. I found this photo at style.com.
May your Christmas by filled with family and friends.

The Ikat pattern is a polymer classic. Dries Van Noten’s Spring 2010 collection has focused on Ikat patterns for inspiration. If you scroll through the whole collection you will find more than Ikat for inspiration. The color combinations and simple lines are inspiring me to take up sewing again.
Be sure to note the jewelry…simple yet striking.

The beaded necklaces from Dries Van Noten remind me of a game of Tetris. Gold, silver, black, and emerald cubes mixed with round pearls and faceted crystals. What a great combination!!!

My grandfather & mother were both artists. I have two uncles who are engineers. My right brain and left brain genes are constantly working. I think that is why I am drawn to the spring/summer collection from Dries Van Noten. The fabrics are sumptuous and the design elements organized. The link will lead you to a video of the collection (clic -Women’s & then click-Show Video). Or you can take your time and ‘click’ through the images to see the fabrics in depth. (Actually the video is worth watching…but it moves verrrrrrrrrrry slowly)
Image 41 when you click through the collection shows a closeup of the featured design…simple design elements framed in black. Take note of the jewelry…BOLD!!!
