A fashion designer known for his vibrant and eclectic style is branching out into home decor with a new collection inspired by his experience with mushrooms during cancer treatment.
The designer’s first collection of duvets, shams, sheets, throw pillows and other items will debut this spring via Amazon and Collins’ site.The way he sees it, the idea of home is a multidimensional space that “encompasses three essential aspects — our earth, our residential home and our clothing.” Collins said that every piece that he designs for the home collection is meant to transform living spaces into personal sanctuaries that are also inspirational.
The designer also considers clothing to be “the intimate home that we carry with us that also serves as a shield to cover ourselves, to protect our bodies and to make us be our full selves for everything that we do,” said Collins, who previously worked for Ralph Lauren and Nanette Lepore.First-year retail volume for the home collection is estimated to be $1 million, according to market sources.

For every opportunity that I get, as long as I am ready, I put in my best effort,” the 36-year-old said. “I’m still cancer free, and I eat mushrooms as part of my meals today. That’s what inspired this whole collection for the fashion presentation and this home collaboration.”To kick off the two-year deal with Lush Decor, Collins cohosted a dinner at Meduza Mediterrania in New York City with his friend and mento
