Palmetto

Palmetto is an alluring collection of printed and woven fabrics, which has been inspired by early morning strolls through dewy woods and twilight walks around a dusky, scented garden. It captures elements of jazz age glamour, 1920s luxe and the botanical fervour of the 19th century orchid hunters, as well as keying into the current trend towards organic silhouettes, offset against sultry backgrounds for maximum impact. The starting point for the whole collection was a botanical document that evoked the inside of an orangery, with its exotic portrayal of rubber plants and passion flowers. The six glorious prints are presented on a mix of sumptuous silks and natural linens, many of which have been embellished with textured threads, foiling and metallics. They depict a cornucopia of etched blooms, as well as delicately drawn butterflies, dragonflies and ostrich feathers. Palmetto’s glorious prints are complemented by three über-glamorous weaves, accented with shine and shimmer.
