Designer Trina Turk loves sunglasses, sushi and Audrey Hepburn. In fact, Audrey Hepburn was a big inspiration on Los Angeles-based Turk in the early stages of her career. When creating a collection, this was her rule of thumb: If an item would fit into Hepburn's wardrobe, it would make the cut; if not, it was outta there. The rule worked. She is known for her colorful prints and fun designs. "Prints are fun and express something about a personality. They hold a very West Coast sensibility," the California native says. Her boutiques reflect her design sensibility- fun, playful, a bit retro and bright. In 2009 Trina Turk introduced an indoor/outdoor fabric line for Schumacher. The bright, cheery prints perfectly reflect Trina's clothing line. Trina said, “I always did color and prints in my apparel line and it seemed like a logical progression. Most of the prints we do are graphic and bold so they lend themselves to larger expanses of fabric.”
Inspiration 3: Sarah Morris
Sarah Morris is an American abstract painter. She does geometric paintings full of color and linear grids that evoke the energy of geometric urban landscape. In describing her paintings, Morris often refers to Venn Diagrams, the colored circle graphs in which overlapping areas indicate relationships between two or more sets of things. She also has done film and art on architecture.

He sums up his design concept in an interview with the New York Times saying, ""My entire philosophy is that when you come home, your house should have the effect of Zoloft.
