Lee Jofa
This fall, international style icon Allegra Hicks brings her celebrated textile designs to the U.S. through Lee Jofa. In a unique arrangement, the distinguished fabric house will serve as the exclusive North American distributor for Ms. Hicks’s imported collection, via its fashion-forward Groundworks label.

Many of the collection’s prints, such as the gingko leaf-inspired FANS or the willowy- abstract renditions of DANDELION and WISTERIA, focus on simple pairings of ground cloth color with a monochrome patterning. The influences of Hicks’s fashion palette are evident in this season’s combinations of vibrant pink on espresso, pale sage on a rich, dark drab olive, and luminescent shades of coral or turquoise on chocolate. Many subdued choices abide as well on lighter, neutral grounds, for more of a natural feeling. Plus, a sheer variation of FANS, with white pigment overprinting on the lightest white cotton voile, is the picture of summer—fresh, crisp and dreamy.

Beat the winter blues with spring time shades of pink and green, such as Schumacher’s new Vivien Silk Stripe. According to Susan North, vice president of design for Schumacher, pink and green can work in any room and for a variety of styles. “Floral designs in shades of pink and green work beautifully in both a formal interior as well as in a casual weekend cottage. Create an elegantly formal garden room with floral designs printed on glazed cotton combined with luxurious silks. Softer florals on faded linens give a relaxed look to a more rustic setting. More vibrant shades of pink and green, such as bright lime, chartreuse and vivid raspberry, create a much more modern feeling.” Whether your preferences are classic and understated or modern and bold, Schumacher offers pink and green options for every design scheme.

The goal … to have their upscale and customizable pieces easily identifiable as WILLEM SMITH, gaining owners’ instant recognition for investing in quality furnishings. The scrollwork creates an easy visual reference which an owner can point to and say, “This is a WILLEM SMITH.” Carried by Jayson Fifteen in Suite 111, WILLEM SMITH has had a presence in the Washington Design Center since 2004.
