MICA ERTEGEN– is one designer who is keenly aware of textiles and the story they tell. Although Romanian in origin, she lived with her husband in Turkey.

Dressing up is all about adding color and pattern to the human form. That’s exactly what HOLLAND AND SHERRY do with drapery. Theyhave some of the most beautiful curtain material - embellishing their material with borders of appliqué embroidery in contrasting threads with ‘to die for’ motifs that look like they are dancing up and down the panels. I was told that the designer Nicolas Chambeyron who previously worked for the couturier Christian Dior designed their embroideries. And what a great job he did!
