Fashion plates

The biggest names in fashion are becoming the talk of the table. As more and more top fashion designers turn their attention to tableware, it’s easier than ever to have a well-dressed table.
Below are a list of a few of my favorites and indeed, each designer’s DNA is clearly recognizable.

Bluemarine - For more than 25 years Blumarine has been designing fashions for innovative young women; now they are bringing passion for design to dinnerware. Blumarine lends beauty and whimsy to their china, with patterned pink flowers and paisley embellised with hints of metallic gold. With this line of beautiful china, Blumarine has made a fashionable signature available for your table.

Kate Spade - "If there's any one fashion designer who epitomizes the understated chic style of today's young, modern woman, it's Kate Spade." Kate Spade's philosophy has always revolved around personal style, long-lasting utility, and grace. Clean shapes, classic proportions, bold use of color and pattern, and an element of surprise are the fundamental principles behind her distinct designs.

This unique and diverse collection of Kenzo china and glassware illustrates the artistry and vision of the designer. He has chosen ateliers in France and Italy to create this unique collection of Kenzo plates and dinnerware.

Marc Jacobs - The designs express Jacobs' romantic, rather than radical side. I mean, would buy grunge china, after all? Continuing a tradition started with handbags, Jacobs names each pattern after one of his closest friends. So Carolyn, (which is the name of my favorite handbag) meet Elizabeth, Peter and Jean. Known for his layered looks, oversize prints and bows and a feminine edge, the elegance and simplicity of Marc Jacobs china is sure to add a touch of high fashion to your tabletop. Marc Jacobs crystal and dinnerware is a beautiful match for classic and contemporary settings alike.

First ladies, modern women, and fashionable persons across the globe wear Oscar de la Renta clothing, and your table will look just as fabulous adorned in his designer dinnerware.

Ralph Lauren – Polo has always stood for providing quality products, creating worlds and inviting people to take part in a certain lifestyle.

All great finds, although I'm a bit partial to Valentino myself!

Kenzo is my preference because the dinnerware looks fresh, exotic and stylish at the same time. I also like a lot some patterns from Kate Spade.
