Isn’t it beautiful? I love the free-flowing designs and the minimal color palette of each piece.

What are your thoughts? Do you love Alison Glass as much as I do? (that comes down to a matter of opinion in case you were wondering) Are you inspired by her fabric to create something rainbowed? or maybe just something more simple offset by a stark white background?
