[Erica Tanov's new silk, Kaleidescope]
Art and fashion collide again. For years San Francisco-based Erica Tanov has designed her own fabric and used it for the made-in-the-U.S clothes (and, more recently, bedding) sold in her shops. This fall, fans will notice fresh prints that came about when she collaborated with Bay Area artist, Emily Payne.

See the connection between Payne's tiny (8 by 7 inches) paper sphere and the soft petal silk shown at top?
This is just a quick first look. Check Tanov's site in the next few weeks for more Payne-influenced prints. And to see other designer/artist collaborations, visit Britain Creates 2012.
