Last week I attended Portable’s Curator Conference here in Manhattan. The topics spanned art, culture, travel and tech and each speaker shared stories of their successes and failures creating and sharing content through various outlets. It should be said that the branding was stellar and was developed by RoANDCo. Additionally, the watercolor-splashed videos and print materials were translated simply and elegantly onto their tote bags (which I love and will carry until it breaks). Some of the stand-out presentations came from Carrie Scott of SHOWStudio, Gia Coppola, an extraordinary young film maker, Chris Corrado of Capsule, Josh Rubin of Cool Hunting and Piera & Philippe of Refinery29.
So back to the point of this post: Rainbow dyed textiles. I’ve been a fan for a while, as noted by this scarf purchase a few years back. The above sherbet-dyed knit is currently for sale from one of our favorite online retailers, Of a Kind. It was recently produced as a limited run by Creatures of Comfort, based in Los Angeles. Expect to see more of this style in the year to come, particularly in the home division. This technique is quite friendly for seating, pillows and bedding. Are you into it?
