Fashion designer furniture
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution
As a follower of fashion, I’m always curious to see designers move from the world of fashion to fashioning furniture and home accessories.
It seems several of them have done so lately.
There is Oscar de la Renta Home and Gianni Versace furniture or even Marc Jacob’s collection of glassware and china for Waterford.
Here’s a look at an Oscar de la Renta red lacquer credenza (which feels a little flashy, but I kind of like it), listed at $10,785 and previously available in stores through Century Furniture.
But I always wonder if a fashion designer who ventures into home design is doing so primarily to boost his or her bottom-line and coast on his or her well-known name.
Can a fashion designer really be considered a high caliber designer of furniture or home accessories? Any examples?
