Alessandra Branca has just debuted her line of fabrics for Schumacher and it comes as no surprise that it is fabulous. With dramatic scales and a vivid color palette, the fabrics are sophisticated and classic, yet modern and fun. My favorite shown below is Coromandel. If you are drawn to deeply saturated colors - think Miles Redd rooms - you will love these. I also like her Bianca Stripe and Andrea Velvet Strie as I love to combine Chinoiserie and stripes. Enjoy the photo gallery of some of my favorites below and see the entire line here. Note - red, fuchsia, and Prussian blue are repeated throughout the collection, so if you enjoy these colors, you are in for a treat. I can't wait to see interior designers doing lacquered walls in Chinese Red, hot pink, black, and Prussian blue with curtains, bed linens, headboards, pillows, and such in Coromandel.

Filled with Chinoiserie, Greek key, and fretwork, in colors like navy, orange, jade green, and blush pink, Mary McDonald's collection for Schumacher is sensational. Speaking of curtains with Greek key trim (my post earlier today), look how she has edged Chinois Palais, derived from antique Chinese hand painted silk mural panels with Greek key trim and fretwork trim. See the entire collection here.
