These are not your mother’s flowers (though that
is where Camilla David divined her inspiration). Unfurl a garden of enlightened roses, gardenias, tulips and vartouli, all designed by an art-history maven turned theater director — which explains her “flair for the dramatic,” says
camilladavidtextiles.com. (Our kind of gal.) David’s spare, chic florals and dots look romantic at first, but move in closer and you discover that they channel modernists like Mackintosh, even Lichtenstein. The contemporary cottons and linens make their Texas debut here, to the trade, at I.D. Collection.
