Paisley prints are so bright and fun and always make me happy. They can also be seen all over runways by designers like Oscar de la Renta and Anna Sui, among others. Here are some close up shots of some of my favorite paisleys in the store. 

One of my favorite photographers is the extraordinary Deborah Turbeville, known for her dreamy, romantic expression. When I used to work at Vogue Magazine, booking her shoots was an artistic experience. Her choice of models was always the most extreme and haunted talent. Often she would ask for Pre-Raphaelite beauties. I was so excited to hear about her collaboration with Valentino for their Spring/Summer 2012 campaign and I’m delighted to turn your attention to her work today.
