2.15.10 | Dalton, GA | Shaw Hospitality Group’s Fashionista carpet collection by Stacy Garcia is inspired by a true trendsetter’s ability to mix and match. Like any well-dressed fashionista, the collection plays with layers of popular patterns and colors.

Fashionista is as sustainable as it fashion-forward. Print patterns are
available on Eco Evolution™, which is 100 percent recyclable into virgin
quality ingredients and can be repeatedly made into new carpet fiber
without degrading design or performance capabilities.

“Fashion styles greatly influence my textile and carpet designs,” said
Stacy Garcia, CEO of Stacy Garcia, Inc. “It’s important to give interior
designers products that speak to the hotel guest. In my journeys, I see
so many chic travelers layering color, texture and shapes in new and
bold ways.”

Garcia designed several pattern options for this collection, allowing
interior designers to pick and choose their favorite borders, medallions,
print fields and more. A wide variety of almost neon colors can also be
paired with traditional neutrals.

“This trend—hot color popping off of quiet neutrals—has been strong
in interiors in recent years and will look fresher than ever as more and
more adopt this style in their dress,” said Garcia.

Fashionista’s CYP and Eco Evolution print carpets are manufactured
with Shaw Industries’ Eco Solution Q® nylon, which is Cradle to Cradle
Certified by McDonough Braungart Design Chemistry. Eco Solution
Q contains a minimum of 25 percent pre-consumer recycled content.
When this carpet reaches the end of its useful life, Shaw Hospitality
Group can reclaim the carpet again, turning the used carpet fiber into
new carpet fiber through the Shaw Green Edge® Recycling Program.
