<p>We're excited to venture over to the Museum of the City of New York to see the new exhibit, <a href="http://www.mcny.org/exhibitions/current/World-of-DD-and-Leslie-Tillett.html" target="_blank" title="tillett">The World of D.D. and Leslie Tillett</a>. This little known design duo produced some of the most modern and wild fabrics and textiles throughout their career which spanned from the late 1940s till the mid-90s.</p>

<p>You're probably familiar with their iconic chrysanthemums print, which resembles whimsically explosive fireworks. Many of their prints were also made into decorative pillows.</p>

<p>Some of the decorator masters of the 50s and 60s like Billy Baldwin and Albert Hadley adored upholstering furniture and designing custom drapes with the Tillett's artful and bright fabrics.</p>

<p>This is Jackie Kennedy's bedroom when she was first lady. Her room featured a Tillet print on the curtains.</p>

<p>Jackie also loved to wear the Tillett's garments. Several of their most painterly clothes are on view at the exhibit.</p>
