Maison&Objet - The show for home fashion

What kind of designer would I be if I didn't go to this show. Don't answer that . . . :) Maison&Objet is far more than just a show for home fashion as the caption proclaims. It's a show about trends across many diverse industries as well. After all most of the things we like as consumers can not be boxed into a single category anyway. They are as complex and hard to define as we are. I'll be looking for all types of upcoming gems like new colors, wood finishes, textiles, etc. The list could go on and on.

Joining me will be Johnathan Sanders, Vice President, Luxury Brand Development and Public Relations for Chippenhook. A little known fact is that I am the Director of Design for Chippenhook who supports openly my endeavors with Ferrochie. We have alot in common as Johnathan is also the Founder and Chief Creative Officer of his own company By Johnathan Sanders. Together Johnathan and I will be soaking up the all new in the world of Couture for Chippenhook, By Johnathan Sanders and Ferrochie.

Fortune cookie last night! What an Omen!
But wait! There's more! Also joining me is Misty Patton, my wife, artist and business partner who is integral to the creative mindset of Ferrochie. With her help we will be coming back from Paris ready to sculpt the all new fall product line as well as the 2011 spring and summer roll outs. Stay tuned for updates!

Johnathan has a new line of fabrics coming out this fall but it's very hush hush so I can't say anything else. I encourage you to check out Johnathan's blog called Johnathan's Take.
