Add a little or a lot to your creative projects or wardrobe.  You can't go wrong when working with classic pieces like these.
 
You've seen it on almost everything from wallpaper to diaper bags: Chevron!  It's almost taking over like a virus.  The main reason why it's become so popular, especially in the textile industry, is because the pattern itself is aesthetically appealing (but is that enough?). The pattern tends to direct your eyes downward or upward, which depending on what this print is used for, can be very flattering. For example, on a dress, the chevron pattern could be used to flatter the curves down to the ground, whereas a horizontal striped pattern would direct the eyes outward and make the wearer seem wide. No thanks!  If you look at the chevron pattern closely, you will notice the same repeating arrow shape.  But this overly used chevron print is so basic when compared to the amazing Art Deco inspired prints and designs out there.  It's classic geometry and highly intricate detail takes design and fashion to a classier more interesting level.  Look at how gorgeous and elegant (when applied correctly) Art Deco pieces add that extra glam to your wardrobe, accessories, walls, and interiors.
