During my trip to Barcelona in 2010, I visited Park Guell. This park is a public are for the inhabitants of the city to escape to noise and to relax, see the city from up above, and to surround themselves by artwork of Antoni Gaudi.
I often research architecture and design as inspiration for my fashion work. Gaudi's work, especially in Park Guell, prompts me to think of fabrics and fabric patterns. The benches of this park are covered in recycled glass and tiles and create a visual dream. Everywhere you look, there is a new pattern or an unusual color combination.

Fashion designers keep innovation at top of mind and this is certainly true of fabric patterns. Below is an example of wonderful patterns in a collection by Peter Pilotto (2013). I think Gaudi would like these.
The slideshow below gives you a good idea of the variety of patterns Gaudi used in the benches in Park Guell! Let's just say I could not stop myself from taking photos!
