''With Piscine 1, Astrid de Saint Anthost riffs on the swimming pool paintings of British artist David Hockney. To replicate the water's shimmering patterns, she created a stencil and painted the pattern onto white organza with black and silver lacquer. The result is perfect for draperies because as the sun filters through the sheer organza, the painted areas cast watery shadows. Also available in linen. Both materials measure 58 inches wide...''

..'Blame it on tried-and-true laws of supply and demand that in an age of megastores, a longing for one-of a kind clothing is back. And according to Astrid de Saitn Anthost, who produces hand-painted fabrics with fellow French expat Vanessa Morel out of their Astoria, Queens, atelier, New York is the new capital of custom-made. She and Morel recently channeled their imaginations into a commission for Carolina Herrera's fall collection.

...''Take a walk through the windmills of your mind with the Parallele line. Designer Astrid de Saint Anthost aims to examine the life that our unconscious leads when we're doing other things, so she and fellow designer looked at a strong stripe, then closed their eyes and drew what came to them. The result: Subliminale, an ethereal, swirled pattern whose lines curve into vague flower shapes, and Paves, whose lines are more subtle. The standard 58-in-wide organzas are offered in custom colors. Paves was the springboard for Anemone, part of Oikos (Greek for 'ecology') collection, which is inspired by, and strives to use, only organic, natural dyes on natural fabrics...''
