1. Dara 2.Nanjing 3. Tail Lights
This post is a silly but friendly tribute to two of my favorite men in my Boston design posse: Timothy and Steve, both whom are taken with the idea of using designer textiles as summer clothing. For Timothy, it’s all about those floral pants. I will never forget that fateful day I met him in the Boston Design Center– he was wearing trousers sewn out of a wild floral Schumacher print. I knew we’d be friends right then and there.
Now Steve, my new twitter friend, DIY expert, taste-maker and fellow reality TV afficanado, suggests making a Mao Jacket out of Manuel Canovas’ Dara… A lady can only take so much, guys!

On sale at Neiman Marcus by week’s end, I assure you!
You’ll laugh; I have received 9 emails today asking if these jackets are able to be ordered through me and do they need to be custom measured/sized!
how funny! I have often thought of making a skirt out of some fabrics I see.
I feel a little shy confessing it, but I love them, and would like one of each.
I can’t help but think “Hurry up, Laugh In is coming on and I love me some Roland Martin…” Kitschy and fun, but I am not 100% sold on them. However, I would wear the first print in some fun pants – so I am down with that.
I love the Dara fabric so much! I want that fabric in my house. I did a post on it last Friday.
Love your blog-

These are adorbs. Id wear the nanjing over a pair of white jeans in a heartbeat. Its flamboyantly awesome. Do i even want to know where you found a photo of designer textile mao jackets??
omg this is GREAT!
How the hec did you do this?!?
Are these actually available?
Okay, folks, these jackets are a digital creation; they are not real and I am not making or sellung them. This was a crazy and fun idea that obviously has some legs, hence the 20 some odd inquiries I have received!
Buy the fabric and high tail it to a tailor!
