CHINOISERIE PRINTS FIND THEIR WAY INTO GUCCI'S SPRING COLLECTION AND ONTO PORCELAIN TILES

Everyone's doing it. The tree of life, the classic, climbing flower and vine pattern with Chinoserie touches that originated in early Indian textiles often found on 18th century archival document fabrics, is making its way onto clothing, with Gucci's Spring 2016 Collection, and onto another unexpected surface, that of porcelain tiles. Now you can wear your floral bouquet and bathe with it too, with Cle's latest beauty-inducing introduction, you can tile your bathroom and backsplash in custom hand painted tiles. Chinoiserie, designed by Deborah Osburn, is inspired by the traditional colorful wallpapers that are used to transform dining rooms to bedrooms, enveloping the space with bucolic flora and fauna.
