Fine Lines Scout fashion vs. function Five runway looks face off against their home-design doppelgangers Drip Down How’s this for a conversation piece? Alternating hues of tessellated stone create the chevron pattern seen in DwellStudio’s black-and-white cocktail table, which evokes the graphic angles in Jill Stuart’s satin Josephine coatdress. The watercolor motif of this expertly draped Costello Tagliapietra dress is grounded in muted colors and spontaneous, splattered-on shapes. The same is true of Kira Appelhans’s work for Zoe Bios Creative, in which the artist used intaglio printmaking materials to achieve the look of water on paper. vs. Chevron Cocktail Table: $2,550; DwellStudio Ocean by Kira Appelhans: $2,400; Zoe Bios Creative (call 323-417-5142 to purchase) Plum Job vs. Triple Threat Austere shapes and neutral hues have become Narciso Rodriguez’s trademarks, but his vibrant laser-cut shift is right in line with this season’s poppy trend. The kaleidoscopic pattern and goldtinged magenta colorway recall the soft striations and gilded thread in a plush Kundera mohair pillow by Erica Tanov. What’s black and white and orange all over? Christian Wijnants’s intricately knit dress-and-sweater combination— equal parts homespun and cool— and Tom Dixon’s mod salt-and– pepper grinder set. Consider it color blocking at its boldest. vs. Tower Salt and Pepper Grinders: $75–$85; Tom Dixon Kundera Wool Tapestry Pillow: $258–$265; Erica Tanov Lonny Lonny 53
