Anna French’s new Aria collection is just a delight. Fresh vibrant colors alternate with the soft and the understated. Her beautiful chenilles, crisp linens, and elegant embroideries dance with coloroful Animal Prints giving an elegant dimension to the “safari” look.

Bold, original design and deep convictions about the strength of family have defined Anna French’s life. From the vibrant geometric designs she began producing at art school in the 1960s to the big, brilliant wallpapers that make up her collection, “Glamour,” Anna’s style is always evolving. Her courageous use of colour and flair for the dramatic remain unchanged.

A strong desire to produce her own fabrics prompted Anna to start her own company. In 1976, she and husband John French moved from London to Scotland, where they formed the company on the top floor of a Victorian lace mill. Anna decided to produce Scottish lace, and to this day Anna French Lace sells worldwide. The business grew a little each year, but it wasn’t until 1994 when Anna began to introduce high-end Children’s Collections, including “Ready Teddy Go,” that things really took off.

Throughout the years, the business has evolved, driven by Anna’s determination to remain as bold and original as ever, and rejuvenated by the vital contributions of her family. Her son Jonathan is the managing director of Anna French Ltd. and her daughter Sasha is the sales director – and as Anna says, “Their creative energy is an inspiration.” In 2007, an agreement was reached for Anna French to team up with Thibaut. This partnership allows Anna French to benefit from the business expertise of the oldest continuously operating wallpaper firm in the U.S., while maintaining the dynamic creativity of a small boutique firm.

If being the boring Bell of the Ball for a Halloween bash aint your thing, how about this for a trick: Lean Leopard leotards, with a feathery tutu. This will get all those furry ears and tails wagging in delight and be a treat for all those closet animal print lovers. But let’s not forget all our one-piece pajama graduates turned adolescent now strutting about like plumed peacocks in their fine and sassy head-to-toe animal prints!

I hope that this is Ashley’s Halloween hair do’ as Cleopatra and not her permanent hairstyle… I so much more like her with long curly light brown hair and her Tiger print top of course! It brings up her radiant smile. No comparison.

Great picture: Ashley and J.P are raving for the new good life together. Congrats guys!

My family’s movie selection this past weekend was “Racing Stripes”, and although I have watched it before, I still enjoyed once more.When you start watching Racing Stripes, you may not be prepared for how adorable and cute a young zebra is.
A travelling circus accidently abandons an adorably helpless zebra in the middle of Kentucky on a stormy night. Fortunately, the wee zebra is found by Nolan Walsh (Bruce Greenwood, The Sweet Hereafter), a brilliant horse trainer who’s given up his calling after a riding accident that killed his wife. His daughter Channing (Hayden Panettiere, Raising Helen) names the zebra Stripes and, before you know it, Stripes has grown to young adulthood and is aching to race at a nearby track. Thus begins a fairly formulaic triumph-over-adversity tale combined with talking animals–but Racing Stripes understands its formula and executes it without any pretensions. It doesn’t hit the bullseye struck by Babe (an earlier triumph-over-adversity tale combined with talking animals), and there are bad puns and gags aplenty, but Greenwood’s solid presence gives the movie an unexpected emotional fullness. Featuring a bizarre assortment of voices for the animals, including Whoopi Goldberg, Dustin Hoffman, Frankie Muniz, Mandy Moore, Joe Pantoliano (as a Mafioso pelican), Steve Harvey, David Spade, and Snoop Dogg. –Bret Fetzer

America definitely got talent to many’s amazement. This season’s show has it all, from great singers, to magicians, to breathtaking acrobats and dancers to name just a few. And  I especially loved the Zuma-Zuma performance with their fun Zebra print outfits,-it is unbelievable how these young men can jump and bend so effortlessly!
But the most eye catching was the wild Zebra piano of Daniel Joseph Baker who made a big hit  at the 6th season’s audition. I think the Baldwin Zebra striped grand piano with the red accents really helped to make a statement and raise that bar of sharp design and fun performance!

It’s a great thing to carry a camera, or better a phone thet can capture fun unexpected moments of your daily out and abouts… Here is a beauty Red Volkswagen Bug with a touch of wild: Fun Zebra seat covers. Is it sharp or what?

I recently attended a presentation of  Tommy Bahama furniture collection by Lexington Furniture Brands and among lots of fun pieces the Zebra prints caught my eye.

An intrepid traveler, he speaks nine languages fluently and can flirt in dozens more. His legendary company is just that: A legend, the personification of an idyllic life.

And today, you can fill your home from floor to ceiling with the “I am on vacation” look products that promise the relaxed elegance of Tommy Bahama.

Who designer doesn’t want to visit North Carolina, the “Mecca” of furniture design?And even if I have visited before, this time my furniture retreat had an extra bonus: a tour to Valdese Weavers, one of the largest domestic Jacquard loom weavers plant. It was surely a once-in-a-lifetime experience, the designer’s dream!
The fact that  I grew up in the textile business have made me develop a very special relationship with fabric; color combination and patterns speak to my heart. I had so much fun that I could barely stand it!.
And of course, I stumbled on the Animal prints; although I didn’t find any in production-I would love to find one right on the loom-, it was here and there in samples and new introductions for the next market. Touring around the designer’s offices, I found this Animal skin inspiration palette:

In the showroom, it was a special section with Animal print fabrics, and although they were a little too high, I was able to capture a few:

How fun!

I just came back from North Carolina visiting the Vanguard Furniture plant, and oh, how fun! I loved walking around the factory watching the nuts and bolts of fine upholstery making. Smiley faces and skillful hands were all around creating beautiful sofas, chairs, ottomans, settees and benches. Surfing through the production center, I took a few shots of my favorite Animal print projects. Sure enough there is another one around the corner ready to be shipped… I guess I am not the only one who thinks that Animal print upholstery is so much fun!

There’s nothing worse than flying from here, there and everywhere and then crowding around the carousel hoping one of those bags is yours. Well heck, they all look the same: rectangular blacks, blues, and greens. You can get dizzy bending down, flipping name tags over, and watching another “almost mine” roll by.
Must it come down to tying neon elastics or one of those dumb red ribbons around your luggage? They scream ‘ugly’ into the night.
Here’s a way to play it cool and get off the carousel. Go get yourself a flashy Tiger print suitcase or luggage with a sharp Zebra pattern. That’ll end the search. Or if a fun Leopard print won’t do it, how about a classy faux Croco or an exotic Snake print piece? Now everyone will see your hot luggage coming.
Who would want to miss the show. And here are some tips for choosing the right travel bag by Independent Traveler
Have a great trip,

I was tickled when I saw in this month’s ELLE DECOR issue, an article about Kazumi Yoshida’s loft in New York. Yoshida, artist and textile designer that works for Clarence House , dares to use striking color and most definitely understands the Animal Print effect. He has a Zebra print accent in every room! I love his loft’s clean lines and simplicity, and I adore his playfulness with color and pattern. The bold presence of Zebra print underscores again and again every room’s aesthetic perfection. Any thoughts?

Slip on your mask, head down to Bourbon Street and be part of that sweet ‘ol jazz! From Leopard, to Zebra, to Peacock, these Animal print Venetian masks are small pieces of art that promise a special Mardi Gras and lots of fun!

This Valentine season, let Animal prints spell “LOVE”. A touch of luxury, a touch of wild, a touch of adventure, a touch of nature, all heart shaped with -what else?- the signature of Animal prints.
From heart to heart, Happy Valentine’s Day!

I was introduced to Zinc Textiles several months ago, but recently I had the chance to use them in a project; oh!  I’m pretty much  in love with the Yeti collection, -the most luxurious and luscious Faux Fur textiles I have ever seen…
