"For me, high fashion is as much about the fabric as it is about the cut. In all honesty, there are certain fabrics that turn me off (think shiny, overly stretchy, poly-satin blends) and others, that make me feel like I&amp;#x27;m in heaven (thick cottons, smooth silks). Quadrille, a fabric and wallpaper store here in NYC, is chock full of the latter. It&amp;#x27;s a total fabric heaven. I always go there just to look, get inspired, and all-out dream but was so happily shocked to be invited into the back room where low and behold, they have racks and racks of white linen dresses, skirts, tunics and cigarette pants as part of their Quadrille Couture line that you can have made in any of their incredible fabrics. Sadly, the pieces don&amp;#x27;t fall into the under $50 category that we&amp;#x27;ve all been hunting down (the skirts retail for around $240) but it&amp;#x27;s certainly worth it for the quality and the fact that you&amp;#x27;ll be the only person wearing one. Plus, you&amp;#x27;ve gotta love the unexpected aspect that these fabrics are often used on couches, chairs and curtains--it&amp;#x27;s a good way to channel your inner Scarlett O&amp;#x27;Hara. What do you think of these two on our intern Maria? Are you into choosing the fabric of your new favorite piece of clothing? Or not so much?
