*Product information may vary - to confirm product availability, pricing, shipping and return information please contact Coles
Allegra Hicks: An Eye for Design examines textile, interior, and the fashion designer’s approach to design and luxury—retracing the genesis of her patterns over the past decades of her work. “With her delicate prints inspired by nature and her feminine but energetic hand, Allegra’s interiors are as harmonious as they are excessive, imaginative and timeless.” —Enric Pastor, editor in chief, Architectural Digest (Spain) Season by season, Allegra Hicks presents her original textile and pattern designs alongside beautiful photography of interiors, landscapes, and unexpected points of nature. Essays on design, color, and seasonal elements will inspire readers to look at interiors and fabrics in a new and different way. Pairing original textile and pattern designs with inspiring photography of interiors and landscapes, the book is an internal voyage through Allegra Hicks’s mind. She writes in her introduction: “When I began to work as a designer—after finishing my studies, during which time I learned a variety of techniques—I had to find my own vocabulary. And I started by looking at nature. Patterns are always an elaboration of nature, a microcosm that takes off from shapes in the macrocosm. I observed everything is part of our everyday life, searching for the essence of these things. I still work in this way. Out of observation of the world, there emerges an abstraction, a pattern, which finds its own life once I remove it from the original context.”
