alexander girard

these are all delightful patterns from american textile designer alexander girard (1907-1995). some have a real folky feel but with daringly vibrant colours for the time. others are cool and sophisticated geometrics. born in new york, raised in italy, and trained in london, girard's textile career took off in the 1950's and his designs are still in production to this day.
