If you're into haute couture and you're into interior design and upholstery, then it doesn't get any better than the Rodarte Knoll Luxe collection. The designers of the American Fashion house, sisters Kate and Laura Mulleavy, directly translated their runway inspirations into usable fabrics and textiles.
However, their influence doesn't stop at the runway, as the fabrics in the Rodarte Knoll Luxe collection are named after poets E.E. Cummings, John Keats, W. H. Auden and Dorothy Parker.
