She told me "Pleats" is new this year:
She's had similarly textured papers before, but this one in vertical strips has a bit more orderly texture, and I've not seen any of them in metallic foil before, either.
Kendall has done a lot of amazing thing with stitching into her papers, but her "Stitched" ones go well beyond that. They're pretty much fully embroidered:
That's exquisite, from a visual standpoint at the very least.
I believe this "Flocked Text" is somewhat new, also:
Utterly classy. The text is phrases of Shakespeare.
But my favorite is "Stitched Text." This one completely blew my mind:
It's A Midsummer Night's Dream:
Kendall really likes her sister's handwriting, so she asked her sister to write out a bunch of lines from the play. The handwritten lines of Shakespeare are embroidered into the wallpaper. Holy crap that's freaking awesome. And once again, I love the idea of the words of a 500-year-old play being dealt with in a way that would not be possible without the very latest computer technology. But it's historic and futuristic, formal and casual, graphic and thought-provoking, all at the same time. I just love it.
