from Light... to White

Valentino Couture Spring 2013

As I look around the city, present day Atlanta, I notice each week how the days are lengthening... Brightening, with pristine skies and wonderful adornment on the trees, small white buds.  I truly look to my exterior surroundings for inspiration in design and now is a time abundant with textiles, hard materials, lighting, relaxed furnishings and ceramics that exude a lightness... They fit within the soft, simplicity of white... The elegance, the forerunner and tastemaker that never goes out of style.
