Runway to Rug: Marc Phillips + Carolina Herrera

I looooove this wool and silk Nepalese rug by Marc Phillips.  I'm just really digging the abstract vibe and layers of texture.  This style keeps popping up more and more and I can't get enough of it.  Naturally, I gotta look to the fashion world to see what designers are also getting inspired by this trend.  The classy Carolina Herrera never disappoints.  I absolutely love how she takes this textured motif and pulls it together into something so elegant and sophisticated.  Plus, both designers utilize the concrete/blue color scheme that is strong, but not over powering.

The only thing I have in my closet that remotely represents this concept is my salvation army jeans that are covered in paint (my "studio" jeans I like to call them).  I think I could use an upgrade, hmmm, how about this dress?
