The Walls Have Eyes is a view into a woman’s most intimate space: her bedroom, a beautiful chaos of all the parts of herself and her complicated life mixed into one place. I took inspiration from luxurious interiors, vintage furniture, lamps, rugs, and sumptuous drapery, but mostly from the rooms of the many women in my life. This collection captures both the romance of a woman's bedroom and also the many moods a room can hold during different stages of a woman’s life, from girlhood to womanhood.
