For her Fall/Winter 202 collection, Sarah Flint looked at the famous Newby Hall Estate in Yorkshire, England. She is now focusing on Avignon, France, for the Fall/Winter 2021 line.

The shows in this season’s collection highlight the French countryside in autumn. Flint incorporated warm colors styled with ornate prints and filigree metalwork, capturing the air of fresh pastries, bustling antique markets, and patterns couches. She found La Mirande, a boutique hotel in Avignon, particularly interesting. Styled with unique textiles and antiques, the hotel is centuries old and features filigree detailing and ornate cornice work that spoke to Flint as she designed this season’s line.

In the hotel, guests find many fabrics from Pierre Frey, resulting in Flint collaborating with Pierre Frey. This collaboration resulted in two signature prints from the company being scaled down for hair accessories and shoes from the Fall/Winter 2021 collection.
