“Blue and white is about as perfect a combination as it gets. Across fashion, design and art, it resonates and always has maximum graphic impact. Think about classic Iznik tiles, like those seen in Turkey’s famous Topkapı Palace. My mother passed on a passion for collecting Chinese export ginger jars, which I mix with spongeware jugs and fill with bunches of fresh peonies and hydrangeas. And then there are blue and white stripes — abstracted or not — which never go out of style.” — Tory
