You Can't Miss This: New Kate Spade Design

Okay I'm going to have a girly moment (which doesn't happen often for me) and say that I flipped out a little bit reading Unbeige's recent blog post.

Kate Spade has released brilliantly designed homegoods AND her 2012 fall collection filled with "polka dots and painterly prints." As a personal follower of Kate Spade since I was 11-years-old, I can't help but be super excited about these.

All of the patterns in her fall collection were designed by Brad Goreski and the homegoods were designed in a tribute to Australian textile designer, Florence Broadhurst (1899-1977). The home goods will feature the colorful and decorative FloBro patterns on cushion covers, luggage, dish sets and wallpaper.

Here's a little sampling:

I'm in LOVE with these new prints. After reading this blog post, I had to take a gander on who exactly "Florence Broadhurst" is. Literally had a love-at-first-sight moment with her style. No clue who she was before reading the post, but I can tell you that when I move into my new place, you can bet there will be some "FloBro" pattern in it. They are just so retro, chic and excellently designed.  I love the china set (pictured above right), and I'm really tempted to go out and buy it tomorrow. For interior decorating, I have a thing for the black and white, minimalistic approach with using spots of color to make it more interesting.

Even though this has everything to do with fashion and product design, I'm not going to lie, it's pretty inspiring looking at other sources. Picture if I made a print similar to that for our Spring Preview? EXACTLY.
