All year, I research and collect fabrics and construction details and silhouette ideas. But my real start is in January at the Première Vision New York textile show, because they are two years ahead of the market. I’m looking for standouts, themes, and what’s trending. For example, I fell in love with a Chantilly-style lace made of hand-pressed satin daisies from a Dutch textile design house that became the anchor point for my collection. I ordered 10 yards of eight different fabrics and waited two months for them to arrive from the mills.
