Zig-A-Zag-Ah


A couple weeks ago I repainted the frame of my fireplace to mirror the decorative chevron pattern in the bricks used to render it functionless. I sent a photo to my fabulous designer friend Gabriel and he immediately replied "Missoni"!


 His eye read "zig-zags" and I've been encountering them ever since!

Silver Lake


Marina Del Rey




Zig Zag Art Deco, Pasadena

Does that ever happen to you? Last year it was circles and dots in this post... Stay tuned for more recurrent observations!

:) This could be worst... finding Missoni everywhere is a blessing... and you have gold in your fingers ! I'm impressed. Your work is joyful and very chic.
Have you seen the pictures of the Missoni wedding (Margherita Missoni and Eugenio Amos, Brunello, Italia) ??? I'm obsessed with the bride's dress and all the deco...

Its like you read my mind! You appear to know so much about this, like you wrote the book in it or something. I think that you could do with some pics to drive the message home a little bit, but instead of that, this is excellent blog. A great read. I’ll definitely be back.
