| BPS President Anthony Minite with entire carpet couture fashion collection |
Carpet will never replace cotton as “the fabric of ourlives”, but Bentley Prince Street,
the inventive, California-based commercial carpet manufacturer (and Carpet and Rug
Institute member) has re-imagined carpet as the fabric of our dreams in an
impressive couture collection, which came about as part of a creative collaboration
between BPS and the Fashion Institute of Design and Merchandising in Los Angeles, California.
BPS President Anthony Minite showcased a few of the designs
during an interview with news anchor Dave Gonzales on Los Angeles TV station KCBS/KCAL [click on this link to view the 4:31 minute video].
Minite discussed how all six dresses in the carpet couture collection will be showcased in the windows of one LA-area Neiman Marcus store, beginning September 8. He praised the creativity of each of the young designers whose garments were chosen for the collection.
Minite also mentioned that Bentley Prince Street, which has been in business in California since 1979, is one of only five carpet manufacturers remaining in a state that at one time had over 80 firms producing carpet.
Watch the four and a half minute interview with Anthony Minite or read more about the carpet couture fashions on the BPS blog. The article is titled Carpet Couture: Taking Our Runway Fashions On The Road.
And, check out the entire fashion show on YouTube in this5:46 video titled Bentley Prince Street Carpet Fashion Show. The lighting in the video doesn’t do the fashions justice, but it’s nice to see all the styles at once.
