Surprise Inspiration... NYFW 2014

Normally when we post our fashion surprise inspiration posts we feature the runway trends, this time we've been inspired by the street fashion in NY during fashion week 2014.

Each fashion week brings out the best in street fashion, so its only normal that these trend-setters inspire our interiors also (including bathrooms!).

Here are some of our favourite street looks paired with some bathroom design ideas.

HÔTEL AMERICANO NYC

Located in the middle of Chelsea's art gallery district lies the cool, industrial Hotel Americano.

Designed by New York-based Mexican architect Enrique Norten, this hotel boasts 56 rooms of Latino luxury and New York chic.

The hotel is part of the Grupo Habita, an exclusive group of architectural hotels by Carlos Couturier and Moises Micha.

Their first American hotel couldn't be positioned in a better spot. In buzzing Manhattan, the hotel sits across from the Highline and is surrounded by delicious restaurants and trendy bars.

Couturier worked with Paris-based interior designer Arnaud Montigny to fit out the rooms and interiors. They feature Japanese style minimalism and some of the most stunning and luxurious bathrooms you could imagine!

Up above the bustling streets of Manhattan you'll find the hotels rooftop restaurant, bar and pool set against the background of the Manhattan skyline.

Visiting NYC soon? Even if you aren't, consider taking a trip to Chelsea just to stay in this boutique and urban New York retreat.

Sicis NYC

Visiting New York showrooms is a completely unique and inspiring activity.

While in NY for the ICFF fair, I decided to stroll through Soho and check out the local design showrooms including the very exclusive and chic Sicis tiles (available at Candana).

Spread over 4 levels in one of the most beautiful buildings is mosaic tile heaven!

I was greeted at the door by a lovely representative (I mean, who isn't friendly in America?!) who directed me to the different areas of the showroom.

From stone mosaics to Murano glass pin-up girls, every surface was clad in exquisite tiles and yet it wasn't confusing or excessive. Each display flowed from one to the other.

The craftsmanship and overall magnificence of the Sicis product is perfectly reflected in this impressive showroom. If you ever find yourself strolling down Broome & Greene Streets, drop into Sicis and experience one of the best showrooms in America.
