throwback pillows.

so my aunt told my mother who told me about B. Viz, and now i want to tell yall. after all, the mission here  is to foster conversation about evolving southern design...

pillows made from vintage Indian wedding gowns, antique suzanis, retro silk/velvet ikats

well Louisiana native Rebecca Vizard does just that. artist slash designer slash textile expert and seamstress, her brand B. Viz revolves around handmade, one-of-a-kind pillows crafted from antique textiles. sourcing fabric from around the world, Vizard combines the modern practice of re-use with a traditional love of decorative objects. the result is simultaneously elegant and cool. 

B. Viz's pillows at work. from here.

repurposing textiles that range from decadent 17th century brocades to vibrant 20th century suzanis, Vizard's streamlined pillows offer stylistic diversity. they have become a staple of high design in New Orleans and beyond, with nods from publications such as architectural digest and southern accents.
