#GREEN #EVERGREENS

I have been to London again. London Fashion Week and London Design Festival. It has taken me nearly a week to fully recover and digest all new design and information. Above, first destination in Chelsea as the start of the Chelsea Design Week and Focus (Chelsea Harbour Design Centre) William Yeoward and my green outfit (Zara, Topshop and John Levis) matched the interior perfectly. A lot of green this season when it comes to interior design and its fabrics.

I took one break this week, Sunday. Since staying with friends near Queens Park it was a treat to visit "Queens Park Day" with everything from Salsa dancing to upholstery (pictured; www.stapleandtack.co,) Lamb racing and street food. I love this fabric in velvet with fruit and veg! All for Homeless People!

One of the highlight - as usual - was, of course, Designers Guild on Kings Road. Not only is Tricia Guild just releasing her memoirs, but she is also to be the next to be exhibited at Fashion & Textile Museum in Bermondsey early next year! Exciting!

From the garden at Designers Guild, always very botanical and inspiring.

More greens at Designers Guild, a lot of Art Deco inspiration this season.

Across the street from DG is O&L (Osborne & Little) equally very green this autumn! And quite art deco-ish!

Green plants live and on the walls, Osborne and Little.

Modern tradition with retro styled furniture and flowery vases and cushions, made me think of the Bloomsbury Group.

Greens and blues. Petroleum blue is a big colour in interior at the moment. I remember it being super fashionable in my teens with flowery blouses from Cacharel and corduroy trousers from Fosters (1971).

More Victorian and Deco inspiration at J.P. Baker with a Shabby Chic feeling. Focus.

For every season the common areas  at the Design Centre at Chelsea Harbour are redecorated. This time with green stars and big round lamps in fabrics from the showrooms.

Recycling is now compulsory in fashion. I love these shoes from Ancuta Sarca made from recycled materials and Nike trainers. LFW at 180, The Strand.

Mixed upholstered chairs at 100% design.

At Tom Dixon at the Coal Yard, a forest installation in the office for the senses...

More recycling. Me myself in green (Zara and sneakers from &other stories) in a recycled chair made from an old armchair and a bath tub! By Bim Burton at Kings Cross/Designjunction. I will now be off to Yorkshire for a miniholiday and will be back soon with more from LFW and LDF and more...
