Red Carpet Charisma
The Academy Awards ceremony Sunday night featured so many memorable moments—Frances McDormand’s rousing speech, redemption for Faye Dunaway and Warren Beatty, a jet ski!!
But let’s talk about style. By turns glamorous, cutting-edge, sophisticated and eccentric, the fashions were predictably eclectic; that’s a lot like interior design. Here at Design NJ, we witness firsthand the intersection of runway fashion and home fashion. Each inspires the other, creating a confluence of style that provides a snapshot of a moment in time. (Anyone remember the year of Bjork and that swan dress? That was certainly a moment.) Here are just a few of the outfits that captured our attention—along with their home design counterparts.
Greta knows that bright yellow brings a cheery vibe to every occasion. For more fun, add appliqués.
