Designer Profile: Fashion as Inspiration
I subscribe to the belief, personally, that your home should reflect your personal style, not the other way around. Your personal style developed (hopefully!) way before you bought your first apartment or house that you now call “home”. I’m not talking about the dingy apartment you had to scrape through those first few years after college, I’m talking about home, when you actually had enough money to pick what you wanted, not what was cheapest. I was struck by how fashion relates to interior design in the most recent issue of Vogue. For one, I absolutely love Cameron Diaz, the feature woman and style icon of this month’s Vogue, but I was thoroughly distracted by her scenic location. Only in a way California seems to be able to pull off, the house seemed built of light and sunshine.
Diaz’s style is enviable summer fashion: well-made, thick linen and a leather belt, the perfect combination of chic and summer fun. The decor in the room compliments this, with cream-colored, simply-lined chairs, a glass table and wooden dangle decorations. Maybe your style is a little different, a little darker than Diaz’s bubbly blonde, and you would go with more of a vintage worn aesthetic. For summer, though, simple and chic is key: here are some ways to evoke Vogue’s set:
