I AM DRAWN TO Georgian architecture: a flat fronted town house would be my dream. The elegant proportions and calm panelled interior speak to me of timeless beauty. I think the marriage of Georgian architecture and mid-century modern furniture is a harmonious one. These two periods have a distinctive aesthetic, and an enduring appeal. What is it about some designs that transcend their time?
Yves Saint Laurent said “Fashions fade, style is eternal” and this issue is dedicated to that excellent idea. We visit the Parco dei Principi Hotel in Sorrento, designed in the 60s by Gio Ponti. The geometric tiles and graceful furnishings were a fitting backdrop for the spring/summer collection of one of our favourite designers, Daniela Gregis. Her sympathetic shapes and sensitivity to cloth flattered our 71 year-old model Benedetta Barzini. We hope it will please Amanda Carr who shares her strong opinions on the limitations of “age appropriate” dressing in this issue and, more regularly, on The Women’s Room blog.
Looking to interiors, 2015 marks the 200th anniversary of the death of Christophe-Philippe Oberkampf, founder of the factory that popularised Toile de Jouy. V&A curator Sarah Grant explains its ongoing appeal. It’s also the 200th anniversary of the Battle of Waterloo on the 18th June and Sarah Jane Downing looks at the military influence on fashion. And, since we are talking dates, our Spring tour continues and we hope to see you at Chelsea Old Town Hall, London on the 25th April or at The Subscription Rooms, Stroud on the 16th May!

Deborah F. I was attracted to Selvedge 64 in one of the magazine's recent back-stock offerings, and am I glad I gave in to temptation! Though a decade old, EVERY article is of interest, and the array of topics/regions represented in the content is breath-taking. (NB: I'm an ex-magazine art director, and hugely admire Selvedge's design, illustration program, and gorgeous photography.)
Thank you for the high praise and kind words you have given to Selvedge in your review Deborah. Your support is very much appreciated. We hope you continue to enjoy Selvedge and the many exciting textile stories we will be sharing with you this year and beyond.
Best wishes

Alison A truly enjoyable read
This magazine is a joy to read on every level. It is well researched, interesting and beautifully written. It cleverly connects the distant past with cutting edge current practice and has inspired me to learn more about both. Now I want to read more!

Barbara S. Visually very satisfying and intellectually stimulating
I always find Selvedge Magazine visually very satisfying and intellectually stimulating. I have all the issues in my library and will have to find a good institution to donate then to when the time comes. I remember getting issue 00 at some conference or meeting in the US when you were first starting out. Bravo again for so many years of sharing the joy of textiles in all its varied forms with all of us.

I am intriqued -- every issue of Selvedge. I am inspired toward my own work as an artist, as a weaver, as a designer, as a student of global artistry. Forever indebted.
