Dear Shaded Viewers,

Douglas Little, who created the holiday windows for Van Cleef & Arpels last year, was recently commissioned to design some installations for the Paris showroom of Jim Thompson Fabrics, on the rue de Furstenberg, for the debut of their Rites of Spring collection. Little's designs are inspired by the Ballet Russes classic L'Apres Midi d'un Faun. "All of the animal shapes derive from Thailand's indigenous species, and as exotics, reinforce the heritage of the brand" says Little.
