Held every spring in Marion Square, Charleston Fashion week showcases emerging designers as well as nationally recognized designers. Runway events and parties are glamorous \u2013 Charleston style.<!--more--><\/p>\n<p>Beth returned from Charleston Fashion Week exhausted but energized by the fresh takes on fabrics and textures. We took her photos and headed straight to our textile library to coordinate runway trends with interior design trends.<\/p>\n<p>Here are Beth\u2019s five fashion trends that intersect with interior design trends this year:<\/p>\n<p><strong>Stripes<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Stripes are defining fashion this spring. Uniform or mixed-width stripes with a dash of pattern (floral, geometric, lattice), were a big hit on the runway last week. At home, translate this trend to your favorite version of stripe: vertical, horizontal, pinstripe, or even diagonal stripes add visual energy to a room.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-6455 size-medium\" src=\"https:\/\/margaretdonaldsoninteriors.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/Stripes-e1522084907433-650x867-1.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"650\" height=\"867\" \/><\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-6454 size-medium\" src=\"https:\/\/margaretdonaldsoninteriors.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/Stripe-Option-2-650x488-1.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"650\" height=\"488\" \/><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>Polka Dots<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Polka dots are timeless. In fact, designer Marc Jacobs said \u201cThere is never a wrong time for a polka dot.\u201d Polka dots harken to the elegance of the 1950\u2019s when fashion was playful and extra-feminine. Add whimsy and style with large polka dots in interiors, or go for more subtle undertones with microdots. Black and white are classic, but anything goes with colored dots too.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_6458\" style=\"width: 644px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-6458\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-6458 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/margaretdonaldsoninteriors.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/Dots1-1.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"634\" height=\"963\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-6458\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Beth&#8217;s daughter, Eliza Black, models the fun polka dot trend.<\/p><\/div>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-6459 size-medium\" src=\"https:\/\/margaretdonaldsoninteriors.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/Polka-Dot-Fabs-_Paper_Bedding-650x488-1.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"650\" height=\"488\" \/><\/p>\n<p><strong>Sheer<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Sheer dresses, jackets, and capes are this season\u2019s invitation to be unique and creative. On the runway, sheer dresses were worn over bold patterns \u2013 giving a sophisticated overlay to boisterous designs. In your home, sheer textiles can do one of two things: used alone they can lighten up a space. Feel free to tuck away your heavy curtains or drapes this spring and summer and just use sheers.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-6462 size-medium\" src=\"https:\/\/margaretdonaldsoninteriors.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/Sheer1-e1522085525923-650x867-1.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"650\" height=\"867\" \/><\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-6460 size-medium\" src=\"https:\/\/margaretdonaldsoninteriors.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/Sheer-Items-650x488-1.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"650\" height=\"488\" \/><\/p>\n<p><strong>Monochromatic<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Runway models looked stunning in monochromatic palette this season. Monochromatic outfits featured separate pieces in one color \u2013 but with varying shades and textures. The trick to pulling off monochromatic interiors is lots of layers (so your interior doesn\u2019t end up looking sterile or kitschy).<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-6464 size-medium\" src=\"https:\/\/margaretdonaldsoninteriors.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/Monochromatic-e1522085619762-650x867-1.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"650\" height=\"867\" \/><\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-6465 size-medium\" src=\"https:\/\/margaretdonaldsoninteriors.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/Monochromatic-Option-1-650x488-1.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"650\" height=\"488\" \/><\/p>\n<p><strong>Tropical Leaves\/Floral<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Big leaf prints, large flowers, anything bold and exotic is the energizing motif for 2018. Integrate this trend in your home with textiles that remind you of vacation. You can stick with a green and white palette or go big with bright colors and bold patterns.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-6467 size-medium\" src=\"https:\/\/margaretdonaldsoninteriors.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/Tropical-leaves_floral1-e1522086311271-650x867-1.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"650\" height=\"867\" \/> <img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-6466 size-medium\" src=\"https:\/\/margaretdonaldsoninteriors.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/Tropical-leaves_floral-e1522086341486-650x867-1.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"650\" height=\"867\" \/> <img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-6471 size-medium\" src=\"https:\/\/margaretdonaldsoninteriors.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/Tropical-Leaves_Floral-Fabs-650x488-1.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"650\" height=\"488\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Despite the chilly temps, spring is officially here.
