Hey there!

Do you love bright colors, bold prints, and believe in the statement “more is more”? Yes? Well, you’re definitely a Curated Maximalist and we’re super excited to show you a collection you’ll love! We’re super happy to announce Bari. J’s newest collection Joie de Vivre!

This bright collection is ideal for summer and it beautifully shows the essence of Bari’s style: vibrant, painterly, and bold! Joie de Vivre means an exuberant enjoyment of life in French, and Bari shows her joy with pretty flowers, delicate birds and butterflies, and cute pugs accompanied by edgy graphic prints.

To me there’s something special about this collection. Every time I look at the prints, they remind me of one of my favorite stores, Anthropologie because of the pretty florals and painterly elements that are uniquely stylish. I instantly imagine feminine summer dresses and throw pillows!

    Thanks for the great ideas in the look book. I loved many of the designs but would most likely make the Lourdes Cropped jacket.

    Oh my gosh, I love everything designed by Bari J. I love everything Art Gallery Fabrics offers. You have the most beautiful fabrics.
    This fabric line is just stunning.
    I would make: A fabric bin for my sweet friend that has tummy troubles and could be looking at Crohns disease
    I would make two Mojave dresses, one for each daughter. They are both pregnant but I would love something that would look great and lovely all the time. I would make the Jesse Clutch for my sister bc I love her. and I would make that pillow for ME because I love it.
    Thank you for always having such inspiring blog posts

    I love the concert tee and the fun blouses and tops, plus the cropped jacket! I definitely would explore making several additions to my summer wardrobe. And I have to get that alphabet panel (or several) as I have too many ideas rolling around in my head to want to do without it.
    Thanks for the Giveaway.

    I wish someone would make me some of the gorgeous clothing in the Look Book…but I would get busy making a quilt for my niece, who will be starting college in the fall. I think the fabric in this line is perfect for her and for that age group–not too “sweet”, but it captures that feeling of freedom and possibility. And the “Bisou Bisou” pattern is just lovely!
