Fashion phenom Johanna Ortiz is collaborating with Schumacher on a new collection of fabrics, wallcoverings and trim that’s set to launch next month. Twenty-two different designs are all unified by Ortiz’s signature motif, the palm tree, which is known as a symbol of resilience, victory, peace and tranquility. The line also weaves in the spirit of Ortiz’s Latin culture in each design, an homage to her deep connection to biodiversity and heritage associated with her native Colombia. Her tropical upbringing is inspiration for the collection’s use of a wide range of natural materials, including linen, sisal and raffia. “Every day,” says Ortiz, “I look out my window and see the palm tree standing proudly as my eternal muse.”
