Triggered Textures

“Animals come from nature. They were not designed. All my inspiration comes from nature, whether it’s an animal or the layout of bark or of a leaf. Sometimes my patterns are very bold, and you can barely see where they come from, but all the textures and all the prints come out of nature”.  – Diane von Furstenberg

“A landscape image cuts across all political and national boundaries, it transcends the constraints of language and culture.” – Charlie Waite
