“Bring the runway to your home.”
Fashion houses no longer stop at clothes. Several of the largest now design for the home. They take ideas straight off the runway into furniture, tableware and textiles. The pieces cost more than most, and they are built to last.
We put this list together. Here are five fashion houses that now run an interiors range, and what each one actually sells for the home.
Five fashion houses that design for the home
1. Dior Maison
This brand holds true to its essence “Celebrate your home”. Christian Dior always believed in elegant entertaining. If you are looking to add a touch of elegance to your tableware, Dior is the brand to look for. Plates and coffee mugs are a must-have to entertain those special guests. The seasonal collections go further than tableware. You will find mini aquariums and seaweed motifs, hand-painted on vases.
2. Armani CASA
Welcome the world of luxury and comfort to your doorstep with Armani CASA. Less is more. This is what you will get. Refined finishing, elegant textiles, simple, straight lines, these are the essence of this fashion brand in home décor. Armani Casa will also make pieces to order.
3. Calvin Klein (CK)
Calvin Klein brings the same restraint it uses in clothing. The range reads as modern, and it dates slowly. The focus is on bath rugs, towels, bedding and accessories.
4. Fendi CASA
Fendi was the first fashion house to launch its luxury furniture range. Thus, paving the way for other fashion designers in this field. The designs mix craft with furniture you can actually sit on. Fendi Casa supplies hotels and restaurants as well as homes.
5. Ralph Lauren Home
Ralph Lauren Home is the American end of this list. The range runs from tea sets and bed linen to light fittings and floor coverings. It is wide enough that the hard part is choosing.
