just my style - thomas paul

I first fell head-over-heels for Thomas Paul with his bold and playful melamine plates. His take on the traditional updated with modern patterns and colors is genius. I especially adore his use of various birds (crows, swallows, robins) in many of his designs.

Raised in NYC, Thomas Paul graduated from the New York Fashion Institute of Technology with a degree in textile design. He got his start working as a colorist and designer for a silk mill designing neck wear for Bill Blass, Calvin Klein, and DKNY. The Thomas Paul silk pillow collection was launched in 2001 and has steadily expanded to include cotton & linen pillows, rugs, tabletop, stationary, bags, and lighting.

The complete Thomas Paul collection is available for purchase online at Velocity Art.
