As New York Fashion Week Fall 2011 draws to a close, I wanted to compare some beautiful textile patterns that fashion designers this past year have shown with selected objects from our upcoming exhibition, Color Moves: Art and Fashion by Sonia Delaunay. While all of these designers were perhaps not directly inspired by Sonia Delaunay, it is clear that her influence on the development of color and pattern in fashion throughout the 20th and now 21st century is still holding strong. We know that our exhibition will inspire many new and established designers, so we can’t wait to see what patterns the Spring 2012 fashion season brings!

Bom dia

Moro no Brasil. Sou professora Universitária de Desenho Têxtil. Posso usar a imagem do Desenho Têxtil 253, para ilustrar o texto em livro que estou escrevendo?
