Marcie Bronkar at Donghia

Donghia hosted a luncheon for Marcie Bronkar last week. I chatted with David Cadwallader, Robin Menter, and Paul Garzotto (wow, twice in two weeks for Mr G). It was fascinating for a fabric freak like me. Cloth & Paper is just her latest creation. She created a line of solid textures called Home Couture in 1990 as a result of “visual indigestion”. Of course, we know that soon after with Rogers & Goffigen, Great Plains, and Classic Cloth, no pattern was the only way to go. Now, she’s showing prints, but only on the very best fabrics - only Belgian linen of the highest grade, only Italian silks. And the patterns are huge - with repeats of 88 to 123″. Expensive, but really worth a look.
