The Fashion Collaborative

...where I take a fashion photograph and use it as the inspiration for an interior scheme...

Today's scheme is courtesy of the stunning Desert Mermaid fashion shoot (photographed by Nick Hudson for Cosmopolitan) featured on one of my all time favourite blogs, Dustjacket Attic.

The Fashion Collaborative

I'm launching a new post series... The Fashion Collaborative.

This is often how I work when I'm beginning a new project - I pull out an image that appeals (often a fashion photograph) and build an interior scheme around it.  It's one of the most creative ways I know to continually come up with fresh and inspiring interiors, not to mention a seriously fun exercise to undertake.  By looking at the various colour combinations and compositions, I can develop my own take on a particular palette.
