Lovely images dance before my eyes daily thanks to the internet. One day, this image happened to cross my path and I instantly fell in love:

Moments d'attente | work in progress |
I sought out the young French illustrator, printmaker, ceramicist, Steffie Brocoli and before we both knew it, she was going to design a fabric collection with us. Sometimes that's just the way things happen!
Steffie's simple style - almost folkloric in nature - and primary-like, bold colors will translate beautifully to fabric. We are looking forward to her collection for February 2013.
Steffie Brocoli, 23, is an illustrator, living in Paris. She studied graphic design and after graduating decided to study engraving, embossing and screenprinting. She enjoys learning new manual techniques as it's an inspiration source for creating new things.
A few years ago, she began a vintage fabric collection, and her grandmother taught her to sew. She began to sell pencil cases to her friends, and realized that making handmade things for people and everyday living was something she wanted to do in her life.
