THE FABRIC
The fabric plays a huge role in the theme of every collection , influencing everything from the prints to the trims .
“ When looking at fabrics we focus on drape and how it will perform with each piece . We used multiple satins recently and loved how the shine and flow of the fabrics look like petals on a flower . It all comes together through our fabric , and each pattern tells a story ,” says Chambless .
COLLECTION INSPIRATION
CFD ’ s color palette is bright , playful , and expressive . Chambless and Mallory find their inspiration in the details , including everything from the feel of a fabric to flowers .
“ I spend time in my garden growing dahlias and roses — and yes , even a peach tree — so naturally I was inspired by those botanical references and the colorful blooms around me . We also take trends into consideration and look at color and shape , and how we can interpret those elements into our designs ,” says Mallory .
HOLIDAY SNEAK PEEK
