Lee Jofa Announces Second Fabric Collection with Oscar de la Renta.
Lee Jofa is proud to announce a new collection from the legendary fashion designer Oscar de la Renta. The collection, which includes fabric and a debut selection of wallpaper, is a follow up to the 2010 debut of Oscar de la Renta Home for Lee Jofa.
The new collection builds upon the most successful elements of the first collection, with new embroideries, saturated ikats and ethnic-inspired patterns, all exhibiting the fine tailoring and detailing that is the Oscar de la Renta signature. From romantic floral chintz to exotic embroidered kuba cloth, one sees the same sensibility he brings to his clothes. The collection features traditional colors and patterns, rendered in a thoroughly modern scale and ideal for upholstery and drapery that adds sophistication and elegance to any space.
“This is a very iconic collection, in the sense that it most reflects Oscar’s lifestyle and sense of refinement, and all that he loves the most: His passion for gardens, his love of romantic chintzes, exotic prints and rich saturated colors,” said Carolina Irving, Creative Director of Home. “This is a diverse collection that can live in a country house, a New York apartment or a tropical island, but always with the same connecting thread, Oscar’s sense of elegance.”
Oscar de la Renta Home for Lee Jofa is now available in Lee Jofa showrooms throughout North America.

Fabricut: Nature’s Song Embroidery Process..
Mount Vernon for Fabricut’s Nature’s Song pattern is inspired by an illustration in Mark Catesby’s Natural History of Carolina, Florida, and the Bahama Islands (1731), a book found in Mount Vernon’s library during George Washington’s time. Refreshed for today’s traditional and transitional interiors, we take you behind the mill for an interesting glimpse into how the hoops are placed by hand and the birds are embroidered by machine after the printed process.
Nature’s Song is available in five colorways: Amber, Cardinal, Federal, Garden and Verdigris.
