Rug Inspired Fashion
Rugs, whether antique, vintage, or modern, are gorgeous pieces of art that tell a story. Ask anyone with any interest in fashion and they will tell you the same thing about clothes, that fashion is an art form. So doesn’t it make sense to combine these two beautiful forms of art into something entirely new and creative? Here, we’ve compiled some of our favorite rug fashion. These fashion pieces are inspired by the patterns and textures of traditional carpets to create a stunning runway statement.
20th, 19th, and 17th Century Designs
One of the most interesting aspects of buying vintage carpets and antique rugs is learning more about the cultures that created them. In this post, we’ll take a look at three different time periods, on three different continents, and the design and aesthetics that each culture created, including the beautiful vintage rugs and antique carpets in Nazmiyal’s inventory that came from these cultures.
Moroccan Rug Shoes: Fashion for your Feet
The art and soul of Moroccan rugs are making a jump from the African continent to international closets. From fashion runways, to boutique galleries, everything is turning up Kilim.

Met Museum Red Carpet Gala 2012
How can we not mention, what many in the fashion world call the greatest red carpet event ever? After all, we are in the carpet business aren’t we? The Met Gala of 2012, considered the fashion world’s biggest event of the year, took place in May at the Metropolitan Museum of Art. Editor-in-Chief of U.S. Vogue, Anna Wintour, hosted the annual ball, where celebrities and fashion designers came together in a night that some call the Oscar’s of the east coast.
Modern Retro 1990’s Fashion Trends
Fashion has had a recent trend of repeating itself in the latter half of the century and especially into the 2000’s. We saw the return of 70’s gear full of peasant tops, maxi dresses, jumpsuits, and flared jeans. Also, the return of the disco era came back full force with sequins galore and enough gold lamé to revive Studio 54 back from its grave.
Marc Jacobs At New York Fashion Week
As Mercedes-Benz New York Fashion Week 2012 comes to a close today, designers and “fashionistas” have spent all week strutting their stuff for the iconic moment in the fashion world and New York alike. One of my favorite designers, Marc Jacobs served up some seriously stunning “stylings” this year in his Marc By Marc Jacobs Fall 2012 collection showcasing a mixture of grunge and military-inspired looks.
