Perfectly Suited
Styling for a Leading Domestic Textile Mill in Interwoven Magazine:
When fashion meets interiors, the result is a textile collection that feels as sophisticated as a tailored suit—classic yet contemporary, refined yet approachable. That’s precisely the story I had the privilege of bringing to life through styling for a renowned domestic textile mill based in North Carolina. Their latest collection was recently featured in Interwoven Magazine, the premier industry publication released twice a year for the Interwoven textile show.
A Legacy of Domestic Textile Craftsmanship
Nestled in the heart of North Carolina, this mill has long been a staple in the American textile industry, crafting fabrics that balance innovation with timeless appeal. Known for their superior weaving techniques and durable performance textiles, they merge classic patterns with modern functionality. Their latest collection is no exception—paying homage to traditional menswear fabrics while translating them seamlessly into home textiles.
Interpreting Trends for Interiors
As highlighted in Interwoven Magazine, this collection draws direct inspiration from fashion’s most enduring patterns—think sleek plaids, houndstooths, and textured wovens, all reimagined for upholstery and home décor. The editorial spread showcases the synergy between fashion and interior textiles, underscoring how thoughtful layering, color, and pattern selection can create interiors that are both stylish and livable.
The Styling Process: Bringing a Story to Life
Styling for this project meant curating a visual narrative that conveyed the mill’s expertise and craftsmanship. The focus was on:
Menswear-Inspired Elegance: Tailored textures, refined plaids, and structured weaves were arranged to evoke a sartorial sensibility.
Dimensional Composition: Playing with layers, from draped fabrics to strategically placed upholstery, helped bring depth and movement to the imagery.
Material Contrast: Pairing soft wovens with sleek metal frames and warm wood tones reinforced the balance of tradition and modernity.
From artfully arranged fabric rolls to styled vignettes that showcased the interplay of pattern and texture, the styling aimed to highlight the collection’s refined versatility.
Styling for this project was an exciting opportunity to merge my passion for visual storytelling with the artistry of textile design. The result? A collection that feels as sophisticated as a tailored suit, perfectly suited for today’s interiors.
