It is no secret that our fashion interests and forever evolving style will naturally impact other creative pastimes we enjoy. Fashion considers texture, pattern, fabric, and material, uniquely constructed for our pleasure and self-expression, establishing innumerable trends that have dictated some of Interior Design’s most desirable fads. Not only have the most notable Fashion houses like Armani, Jean Paul Gaultier, and Gucci created home décor that maintains brand independence and superior quality, but their teams have ultimately combined their impeccable design skills in fashion and transferred them to a medium that serves the purpose of elevating your home and defining one's true aesthetic and style.

Layering patterns and textiles have been explored in many diverse ways in Fashion, with the likes of Kenzo infusing knitwear with silk or Simone Rocha and her daring assimilation of embroidered mesh and plaid. Naturally, we adventure across various mediums to discover the perfect harmony and synergy of materials in our homes, for instance, the sleek, classy ambiance that a white marble countertop creates, intuitively paired with the richly toned hard maple kitchen unit, with a luxurious, warm, and modern finish.

Individuals may lean towards a muted monotone palette in their dress sense, which could reflect their preference towards minimalism or simplistic tastes. Those who are eccentric in their style may have a flair for bold splashes of colour in the lounge area or interpretive artwork adorning their walls. While not universally applicable, this offers insight into what we visually enjoy and find pleasure in, which ultimately influences the personalities we display. Identifying our style and creating a visual connection between material, garment, or fabric ignites our individuality as designers, showcasing the infinite creative freedom that Fashion Design and Interior Design afford us.
