Introducing the Alessandra Brabca Fabric Collection.

Internationally renowned interior designer Alessandra Branca brings her worldly elegance and sophistication to her debut collection of fabrics exclusively for Schumacher. Born in Rome, Alessandra draws inspiration from the finest art and architecture, while using her sense of comfortable elegance and wit to revolutionize classical patterns with a modern point of view.

“I knew I wanted a collection of great quality and craftsmanship – one which my children would want and my grandchildren would be happy to inherit,” she says.

Dramatic scale, playful textures, and a vibrant color palette add a burst of energy, making the fondly familiar damask, toile and chinoiserie patterns fresh and exciting. A Branca collection would not be complete without a graphic red and black color story, the signature palette of Alessandra’s celebrated interiors. It’s a powerful combination that brings exuberance and richness to the line. Building upon this trademark color scheme, Alessandra fearlessly incorporates a sophisticated range of hues including a saturated Prussian blue, a striking combination of grey and fuchsia, as well as fashion-forward acid green, which complements a neutral palette of greige and sable brow.

Alessandra’s fabrics are distinguished by a commitment to quality and an exacting attention to detail. Exquisite craftsmanship is evident in Continenti, a boldly scaled toile in which each motif is enhanced with artful element of hand-guided embroidery. Tactile luxury is of equal importance: Anna Damask inspired by opulent Italian silks, is reimagined in supple linen with a smooth washed finish that can only be truly appreciated when touched.
