At Home Hits the Runway 9.8.09

What does this look from Missoni’s Spring 2009 RTW collection have in common with this Little Rock breakfast nook, featured in At Home’s September 2008 issue (click here for the full story)? Each is slathered in the colors sage, orange and yellow. And while a taupe-colored purse ties together Missoni’s look, the same neutral hue serves as a nice base on the breakfast nook’s walls. Missoni’s zigzag green caftan is also reiterated in the pattern on the draperies and backs of the chairs. It seems the only thing missing from the runway look is that gorgeous Chippendale iron table…

We can hardly believe the similarity between Monique Lhuiller’s ethereal yellow and gold frock and this Conway master bedroom, featured in our Color issue and photographed by Rett Peek.

And this sweet spring get-up from Moschino Cheap & Chic evokes exactly the same youthful playfulness befitting of this girl’s room, from the same Conway home.

“I’ve learned that the way to keep a home from looking too busy is to pick two or three colors that continue to show up from place to place,” says Tobi Fairley. The same statement rang true in Emilio Pucci’s Fall 2007 Ready-to-Wear collection, featuring punchy colors–popsicle orange, pink, etc.–liberally mixed with exciting geometric shapes.

Art director Mandy Keener, who directed the photo shoot for our Fall Fashion Stylebook, is a fan of what she calls “oddities” and “hidden stylings.” For example, look closely at these shots and you’ll see that the model is holding a vintage Edgar Allan Poe book. Creative thinker that Mandy is, she also fell in love with the bronze horse clock and New Mexico map on the mantel. These “hidden stylings” are what inspired her beautiful post today.

What do you get when you combine a daring black-and-white pattern with a cheery splash of sunshine yellow (above)? In this case, a Tobi Fairley-designed Glenwood bathroom featured in At Home in Arkansas, which happens to resemble this uptown look from Diane von Furstenberg’s Resort 2009 collection.

More black and white patterns prevailed on the DVF runway (below)Â with juicy citrus orange accents, a color combination Fairley executed beautifully in this vignette, near the same home’s fireplace.

This Fayetteville homeowner opted to layer browns in his guest bedroom, using toile fabric in the bedding, furnishings and draperies, and then matching it with a custom wall color. Photographed by Rett Peek and featured in our Color Issue, the room exudes the same understated elegance as this look from Carolina Herrera’s Resort 2010 Collection.

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.

Here are some of the outfits—and rooms—that bring these colors to life.

what to wear fall 2011: lavender, maxi skirts, navajo prints

February 9, 2014 by ark_admin

Several themes stood out in our Fall Fashion Stylebook that we didn’t necessarily plan. But that’s what happens. When you’re working with the best clothing in the state, and photographing it in a beautifully designed home, a new angle can reveal an element–whether it’s a color combination or a design detail–that suddenly comes to life through the camera lens.

Here are a few of my favorites.

Vesta’s, photographed by Nancy Nolan

I love the juxtaposition of ladylike lavender against a rustic background. Lavender may be a feminine hue, but it holds its own against the stone fireplace.

This is Glamorous

Aren’t these chairs beautiful, basking in the glow of the fireplace?

Belgian Pearls

These lavender pillows are the answer when red would seem too earthy and blue too cool or bright of a hue.

Elle Decor

And what about this setting? Lavender almost becomes a neutral, fading into the seating area to allow the fireplace to take center stage.

Box Turtle, photographed by Nancy Nolan

The hand-carved door was the ideal background for this gorgeous prairie-inspired outfit. (LOVE the skirt and fringe bag!)

Architectural Digest

Sturdy and strong, these wood doors make an architectural statement all their own.

House Beautiful

This arch on these doors is striking, and I love how the design of the room brings out the texture of the doors with the rough hewn coffee table.

EM Jeans, photographed by Nancy Nolan

Of course, Navajo was THE print this season. (Have you seen the Proenza Schouler runway show?)

Design*Sponge

On this couch, the pattern becomes edgy and modern with its black/white/pink/orange color combo.

House Beautiful

Rugs are a simple, non-committal way to incorporate the print into your home. Love the impact of several grouped together, and outside for that matter!

Design*Sponge

In this Southwestern-inspired space, the pattern peeks through ever so slightly in the rug, so the overall Southwest effect is subtle rather than kitschy or overwhelming.
