With Christmas and New Years Eve fast approaching, and all of the fun festivities ahead, it seems like the perfect time to talk about something that many of us love… FASHION!  Whether you will be hosting events this holiday season, or attending as a guest, finding the perfect outfit can often be a challenge.  I say you trade in your little black dress for a chic and fabulous winter white one,  The fun part of what I do, is being able to recognize that both fashion and interior design often go hand in hand.  You might be surprised how you can draw inspiration from one, to help give you ideas for the other.

For instance, take a look at this beautifully designed white lace room in Marrakech, Morocco.

I look at this room and can envision a beautiful winter white dress with elements of lace.  For example, this beautiful crisscross lace pleated gown is perfect for a black tie holiday event.  To add a pop against the white canvas, add some metallic accents with lustrous gold and silver accessories (notice the gold clutch).

Now take a look at this table decorated with white china and linens with vintage crystal.  This might inspire you to look for a beautiful white dress with sequins.

You’re sure to make an entrance in this contemporary gown.  This glamorous short-sleeve crop top and floor-sweeping skirt featuring tulle inserts and embroidered with sequins, is stunning!

Whether you opt for a pant suit, cocktail dress or gown, don’t stress when it comes to accessorizing, as winter white matches everything.  You can even throw on a black leather jacket to add a chic contrast to the white.

Now that you know how an interior designer like myself can often find inspiration when it comes to fashion, take a page out of my book and start to gather ideas from any designs that might inspire you. Check out our portfolio and Pinterest page for more inspiration.
