Florence Broadhurst & Kate Spade

I first noticed some of Florence Broadhurst's prints for interiors back in the fall and I really like some of her designs. Broadhurst was an Australian born in the early 1900s who became a wallpaper designer in the 1960s & 1970s and created many patterns for wallpaper and fabric which are popular again for use in interior design today. Her designs are large scale and glamorous but with an organic twist. Apparently, Kate Spade is liking them too because her spring 2012 collection is inspired by Broadhursts designs.
