Events in the City: Beyond the Skyline

Chevron-dezvous

chev·ron

ˈʃɛvrən/ [shev-ruhn] –noun

 

1.  A badge consisting of stripes meeting at an angle, worn on the sleeve by noncommissioned officers, police officers, etc., as an indication of rank, service, or the like.

 

2.  An ornament in this form, as on a molding.

 

3.  Also called chevron weave . herringbone ( def. 2a )

 

4.  Current obsession of many in the wedding and design world. Accented by the feature on Million Dollar Decorators and Mary McDonalds use of it painted on a floor. Also used in Missoni prints for decades and something I've personally lusted after since being in fashion classes in college. To be fair I own one cardigan and a scarf from my BBF but thats clearly not enough.

 

5. Lastly, one of the great patterns that these two designers here at Events In The City are using up in weddings, photoshoots and in our homes shortly. Stay tuned.

Ikat In The Hat

i·kat

ˈikɑt/ [ee-kaht]

1. a method of printing woven fabric by tie-dyeing the warp yarns (warp ikat), the weft yarns (weft ikat), or both (double ikat) before weaving.

2. a fabric made by this method.

3. a way to jazz up any tablescape, outfit or interior with a funky pattern that never goes out of style but instead translates to funky, preppy and boho depending on how you use it. I.E. to pull an ikat out of your style hat!
