 | | JULIEN MACDONALD BRINGS A TOUCH OF HAUTE COUTURE TO GRAHAM & BROWN WALLPAPER | | | Julien Macdonald | | 10/11/2006 | | | Julien Macdonald's new range of wallpaper for Graham & Brown is as glamorous as one of his evening dresses and as elegant as one of his perfectly tailored jackets.
Bold pattern, strong colour and attention to detail form the essence of Julien's new range which he has personally designed in collaboration with Graham & Brown. Much of Julien's inspiration is taken from his travels around the world - from earthy Africa to the lush tropics - and the result is an eclectic collection that will seduce style aficionados everywhere.
'This has been an inspiring, refreshing challenge and I'm delighted with the collection,' says Julien about his first-ever wallpaper collection. 'The designs are a true reflection of the influences I experience through travel and my work as a fashion designer. Seeing my signature style of glamour and elegance translated onto wallpaper is an achievement I'm very proud of.'
Julien's haute couture fashion collections are coveted by the most stylish and wellheeled women across the globe. His gorgeous wallpaper for Graham & Brown is, fortunately, somewhat more accessible to those who want a piece of his aesthetic. With prices starting from £16.99 a roll, we'll all be able to add a touch of Julien's eye for beauty to our lives.
The collection features six different designs, each available in four colour-ways.
Glamorous
Glamorous is a modern, simple design. Julien has created a symmetrical wallpaper where strong vertical lines are crossed with curving arms, akin to the arms of an elegant chandelier. In pink/black, Glamorous evokes images of a Parisian boudoir. The striking design is also available in red/gold, cream/beige and black/gold.
Ornate
A baroque-inspired design, Ornate captures this distinctive decorative architectural style. The flourishing lines and bold curves of Ornate are ideally suited to a drawing room or dining room. The chocolate/beige colour-way is inspired by Julien's love of his visits to Africa. Other stunning colours to choose from include black/gloss, blue/blue and black/cream.
Paradise
The aptly named Paradise has a lush tropical touch. The modern leaf design features organic flowing fronds and ferns creeping their way up the wall. In red/black, Paradise has a masculine feel and would look at home in a modern apartment accessorised with stunning silver pieces. In the green/white colourway your home is turned into a stunning garden of Eden, bringing the outside in. Paradise also comes in pink/black and chocolate/beige.
Exotic
A symbol of beauty, an exotic peacock with its elegant plumage is intertwined in this feminine, rounded pattern. Julien has designed a wallpaper that features chic curves and graceful lines and he has cleverly interpreted a traditional use of a birds pattern in his own inimitable, fashionable style. In pink, the design is perfectly placed in a bedroom for a graceful, romantic look. Exotic is also available in black/white, teal and green/cream.
Dazzle
Dazzle is a complex and conceptual floral-based design. It is a bold riot of flowers and foliage realised with striking curves and spirals lines. Julien has challenged the traditional floral print producing a stunning, abstract print. Dazzle is available in silver/blue, cream/beige, black/silver and lime/brown.
Mysterious
A botanical-inspired design, Mysterious features boldly drawn flowers and leaves, sharply executed, resulting in a visually stunning wallpaper. The effortless space surrounding the flowers and leaves adds to the impact of the design. Mysterious comes in chocolate/green, cream/brown, mauve and green.
Mark Radford, design and marketing director at Graham & Brown, says, 'This new collection of wallpapers confirms Graham & Brown's commitment to bringing great design to consumers at affordable prices. Julien has produced a visually stunning collection, stamping his own individual style on the wallpaper market. The continued surge of popularity in wallpaper continues to excite and challenge us and I'm confident Julien's new collection will be a hit with consumers across the UK.' | |
