"Fashionably Inspired\nAt F. Schumacher, a Tradition of Combining Couture and Interior Design\nDior Toile was part of a 1997 line by Gramercy, then a division of F. Schumacher &amp;amp; Co., introduced to coincide with the 50th anniversary of Christian Dior's first couture collection. It continued the firm's tradition of looking to the fashion world for innovative designs\u2014and designers\u2014for its fabrics and wallcoverings.\nDior in 1947.\nPaul Poiret fits a gown in around 1930. He was the first fashion designer F. Schumacher tapped to create a collection. Launched in 1930, it proved exceptionally popular among the firm's clients.\nThe leaping animals and stylized trees and plants on Antelopes perfectly capture the Art Moderne aesthetic.\nThe bright hues of Hortensias display Poiret's unique understanding of color.\nAlthough best known for his photographs and illustrations for Vogue, Cecil Beaton (above, in his study in 1947) occasionally dabbled in the design side of fashion.\nF. Schumacher debuted Beaton's Halloween as part of its 1949 collection.\nPrinted on a rayon shantung, it depicted two glamorous witches rendered with the same vibrant lines as in his drawings.\nToward the end of her career, Elsa Schiaparelli (above, in 1938) turned her talents to a line of fabrics and wallcoverings for Waverly, at the time an F. Schumacher division. The designs captured a dynamic spirit similar to that of her clothing.\nMadelon appeared in 1958. It was accented with splashes of shocking pink, Schiaparelli's signature color.\nValencia, also 1958."^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
