elcome to the new Showtime Magazine. The redesign
of the official publication for Showtime™ is just one of many
exciting new developments as we approach the anniversary
of our 50th show this December. Even as the largest
decorative fabric show in the United States, with buyer and
exhibitor attendance in the thousands, the community at
Showtime still feels to many of us like family. It’s our tribe—a
close-knit group of wonderfully talented artists, designers,
salespeople, and leaders that
literally shape the look and feel of
homes, commercial establishments,
and more throughout the world. So
on the pages that follow, we invite
you to visit and explore in words
and pictures the companies and
people that make Showtime so
unique. If you’re relatively new to
Showtime, we hope this sampler
will convince you that our market is
the destination for all things fabric,
leather, and trim. And even if you’ve
been in our community for years—
or decades—we hope you’ll find a
few pleasant surprises.
Welcome to Showtime!

High Five: Europe’s Finest Fabrics
I
t’s a revered business model, to be sure,
and High Five has deployed it strategically
and flawlessly for more than a decade: Bring
together the finest fabrics from European
mills under one roof, and provide those
textiles to customers in turnkey fashion from
customs, duties, and billing through final
expedited shipment to the U.S.
“Sourcing fabrics from multiple European
suppliers can be difficult, and so our sole
mission is to make that process easy and
seamless,” explains Luc Callens, Managing
Member. “In doing so, we try to set ourselves
apart by bringing the true jewelry of fabrics
to our customers.” High Five delivers on this
pledge with a voluminous catalog of fabric
options—from the basic to the exotic—representing a full range of price points, from
entry-level to luxury. The company can group
shipments from different mills, and it brings
fabrics to the U.S. via air freight, for unmatched speed to market.
At the core of High Five are the following European mills, all known for their leading reputations for fine quality and craftsmanship.
4
Algemene Two—Founded in Belgium, and
world-renowned for its workmanshop in
multi-colored warp jacquard tapestries,
chenilles, mohair, and velvets.
De Poortere—Specializing in fine woven
velvets for the high-end home and contract
trade, with luxury textiles suitable for furniture, drapery, and decorative purposes.
Penelope—Bringing more than half a century
of weaving expertise producing gorgeous
colorations and unique finishes, this Turkish mill is known for providing outstanding
service to customers.
Trapo—Located in Portugal, and known for
its specialized finishing techniques that impart a silky hand. A totally vertical mill, with
everything from dyeing to designing under
one roof.
Vilber—Best known for its beautiful prints
and specially crafted outdoor collection,
Vilber’s constant innovation and excellent
service guarantee the highest quality.

Due Process: Creating Profit Centers, One Rug at a Time
I
t’s a simple concept—a no-brainer actually: Area rugs add incremental sales. But
making it work successfully? Not so simple.
For starters, there’s the substantial, up-front
capital investment. Then there’s inventory
exposure, plus the challenge of developing
designs that sell through at retail. With
these complexities, it’s easy to see why
increasing numbers of retailers and manufacturers are flocking to Due Process Stable
Trading Company.
“Our customers have realized having Due
Process as a partner simply makes good
business sense,” explains David Grasse, Partner. “If you’re a Showtime attendee selling
furniture, why not have a rug underneath?
It doesn’t take up any additional room. And
if you’re a jobber, there’s no investment
required other than your samples.” In either
case, Showtime buyers are creating instant
profit centers by partnering with Due Process, which houses its area rug inventory
at its new 92,000-sq.-ft. warehouse in
Lumberton, NC.
The brilliance of Due Process’ business model
speaks for itself: Programmed and custom
collections offering hundreds of patterns,
sizes, and colors at multiple price points, all
of which are backed by the financial strength
and stability of its three partners. “Frankly, it
requires a lot of capital to do this right, and
we have that financial stability,” Grasse says.
Add to this 24/7 online stock visibility, quickand-easy QR code replenishment, and direct
drop shipments to the consumer’s doorstep,
and it’s no surprise Due Process’ customers
are repeatedly realizing success in the area
rug category.
“We’re different from many of our competitors because we approach rugs as a fashion
industry,” Grasse states. “We build our collections around color, texture, and design.” The
success of Due Process’ Wesley Mancini Rug
Collection is proof of its prowess in this area.
Grasse sums it up this way: “We really try to
be the silent force behind our customers.”

Noveltex: A Labor of Linen
F
or Noveltex, Inc., business boils down to
a few simple principles: Provide the finest quality linen, offer the broadest possible
selection, and maintain an unwavering commitment to customer service and cooperation while being environmentally responsible.
“Our main advantage is our complete control
of quality at the time of production,” explains Benjamin Golshani, President of the
Los Angeles-based firm. “We inspect and
manage every aspect of the process, so that
in the end we bring only the highest-quality
linen back to the U.S. for dyeing and printing
while meeting or exceeding environmental
standards.”
The end result of this principled approach
is a line of high quality linen fabrics known
for their incredible hand, which is called
Refinaré, including 400+ patterns in multiple
colorways and more than 200 solid fabrics—
all available in different weights for residential and commercial applications. Golshani
traveled throughout Europe visiting count-
6
less suppliers before finding the right fit in
Belgium-based and other European fiber
suppliers that met his exacting standards.
Today, Noveltex partners with various partner mills to weave the fiber into linen, which
is then shipped to Noveltex’s Los Angeles
headquarters, where it is dyed and finished.
“Every season we develop new designs and
colors, so our line is always fresh,” Golshani
explains. “Of course we maintain classic
colors and patterns we know our customers
have success with, but we’re always reaching
to provide something new.”
Noveltex is well known for its responsive and
timely service to customers. “The great thing
about us is that we keep everything in stock,
so we generally ship within a few days,”
states Golshani, summing it up this way: “Our
goal is to provide the broadest possible selection of the finest linens for our customers,
and to provide the best service along the
way.” For more information, visit Noveltex.

Classical Elements: Masters of the “Final Touch”
F
ew would disagree that a tasteful bit of
trim, the tease of a tassel, or the nod
of a well-placed knot is exactly the sort of
thing that can transform an ordinary piece
of furniture or home accent item into a show
stopper. And as purveyors of fine decorative
trimmings from around the globe, few do it
better than Classical Elements.
“We started Classical Elements because we
wanted to bring a higher level of design, creativity, and service to the industry,” explains
Leyla Gans, who co-founded the company
with Stuart Gans in 2004. “We founded Classical Elements on principles such as listen
and learn from your customers and never
stop innovating and brining new ideas to the
table.” Since that time, the duo have surrounded themselves with a team comprised
of some of the most talented and customerfocused designers, salespeople, suppliers,
and customer service reps in the industry.
New for June Showtime is an expansion of
its highly popular Coastal Living collection,
which marries the earthy texture of jute with
cotton and nautical navy blue. “We’ve had a
lot of requests for this—it’s been very successful,” Leyla states. “It presents a refined,
beachy look reminiscent of The Hamptons,
yet it’s still quite casual.”
Classical Elements is also launching a volume
in fresh, new colors for its well-received Lux
collection. “Think yummy, fuzzy brushed
fringe made with chenilles and other soft
yarns,” says Leyla. Finally, an expanded
collection of frogs in distinct and different
casual, metallic, and solid designs will be
on display.
“We’ll have so much more that’s new and
fabulous in June, but what’s just as important is the service and quality behind our
product,” Leyla says in summary. “We take
pride in the impeccable workmanship of our
supplier partners, our commitment to responsive customer service, and our promise
of the efficient delivery times.”

Suburban Home: Telling the Story of Home
I
t’s a story we’re all close to—the story of
home. And it’s a story that the fabric line
of Suburban Home imparts exquisitely and
deliciously each season.
“Our proprietary line of coordinated wovens
and prints give retailers and manufacturers
a clean, fresh, fun aesthetic at an attainable
price point,” explains Thomas Siblo, Vice
President of Suburban Home Sales. “We also
have a proud family-owned company history—one that from the beginning was built
on core values such as value-driven ingenuity, cutting-edge products, and personalized
customer service.”
All of Suburban Home’s fabrics are designed
by its in-house team of talented designers,
and have included highly successful collaborations. Besides its warehouse and factory
locations in New York, Suburban Home
reaches out to customers through a robust
network of 123 corporate, agent, and international showrooms. The company boasts one
of the highest in-stock rates for cut yardage
at 90%, which means it typically ships orders
within 24 hours.
New for June Showtime is the Cultured
Home collection, an exciting package of
prints and wovens that work harmoniously
together for a well-coordinated look. “The
two themes in this collection are Zen and
Spice Market,” states Denise Gutierrez, Designer. “Our working motto throughout the
creation of this line was, ‘Let the destination
be inspired by the journey,’ where the destination was home and the journey was our
collection of fabrics along the way.”
Cultured Home offers two books totaling 89
SKUs in 100% cotton as well as cotton/linen
blends. Zen consists of four prints and four
wovens in multiple colorways, and includes
show stoppers such as Sanbo, a woven shibori medallion, and Kensho, a fine-lined chrysanthemum matelassé. Spice Market presents four prints and five wovens in multiple
colorways, with Tangine, a diamond chenille,
and Deira, an ikat diamond, being among the
unique, eye-catching designs.

Fabricut: Inspired Design, Limitless Possibilities
T
o understand why Fabricut, Inc. has
remained a leader in the industry for
six decades, you need only ask one of its
400 employees. “There’s a very personal
touch here,” says Millie Hammond, Director
of Design. “The fact that we’re both family
owned and an ESOP makes a big difference—
our customers notice the difference.”
Beyond its service-oriented personal touch,
Fabricut is an undisputed design leader,
finding its strength in creating a truly
expansive, trend-forward offering of fabrics,
trimming, wall coverings, and decorative
hardware styled from traditional through
contemporary and priced at value through
luxury. This competitive distinction has been
especially true with respect to Fabricut’s
growing list of licensed collections, which it
unveils exclusively at Showtime.
Launched in December, and with new
designs in June, is the Isabelle de Borchgrave
Collection, inspired by the world-renowned
Belgian artist and sculptor. “We’ve taken
her breathtaking paper costumes and art
and reinterpreted them to create a line with
a colorful, ethnic feel,” explains Hammond.
“But where many ethnic-inspired textiles
are more rustic, Isabelle’s have an elegant,
sophisticated feel.”
Also debuting in June is the George
Washington Mount Vernon Collection, an
embroidery-inspired line based on the
historical archives of Mount Vernon. “We
scoured through archives and walked the
grounds, taking our inspiration from historic
belongings, clothing, architecture, and
nature, and re-envisioned them with today’s
aesthetic,” Hammond remarks.
Adding to these middle-market collections
is a new license with interior designer
Vern Yip, well known for his roles on TLC’s
Trading Spaces and HGTV’s Design Star. The
Vern Yip Collection will be marketed under
Fabricut’s value brand Trend, which has
already witnessed tremendous success with
the Jaclyn Smith Home Collection. “We’ll be
showing a small preview from the new Vern
Yip Collection, and will unveil the full line in
the fall,” states Hammond.

Bella-Dura®: Where Beauty Meets Brawn
I
t’s the ultimate in performance fabrics. Durable. Sustainable. Anti-microbial. UV resistant.
Bleach cleanable. And 100% American made.
Bella-Dura® has been delivering on its tagline
“Performance by Design” since 2005 with
its revolutionary fabric, which offers inherent
attributes that make it a leader in indoor and
outdoor applications.
“Our fiber technology sets us apart,” explains
Susan Lobel, Vice President of Marketing &
Brand Development. “There is nothing applied
to the fabric to make it perform well—it’s inherent in the proprietary yarns.” Bella-Dura is solution dyed, meaning the color is integrated into
the fiber, making it highly resistant to fading.
Beyond this, Bella-Dura offers abrasion resistance exceeding 50,000 double rubs, and UV
resistance of 1,500 lightfast hours. Bella-Dura
has also received numerous industry acknowledgements, including C2C Silver certification,
and the C2C Products Innovation Institute’s
Legacy Leader honor.
But toughness doesn’t come at the expense
of beauty—and Bella-Dura is uncommonly
beautiful. “Customers always tell us they love
14
our color stories,” remarks Sarah Keelen, Senior
Stylist. “Because we are a design studio, we’re
continually sourcing for inspiration, whether it’s
visiting museums, or touring showrooms and
markets. We develop collections that are fully
merchandised, so patterns, stripes, and solids
coordinate effortlessly. For customers looking to put together a collection, the legwork is
already done. This is especially helpful for customers that don’t have a large design team.”
Launching in June is the By the Yard Collection—the latest offering in an existing program
that provides shipping within 24 hours for
orders less than 50 yards, and delivery within
four weeks for larger orders. Bella-Dura By the
Yard is comprised of three categories: Naturally
By the Yard, earthy neutrals with patterns and
textures inspired by menswear looks; Colorfully
By the Yard, a grouping of bright, saturated
patterns; and Solids and Textures By the Yard,
the all-important anchor of abounding color
choice in multiple textures.

Madcap Cottage, an interior design firm whose
creations reflect a deep-seated understanding of
tradition amped-up with playful patterns and color.
“Banish the beige and the boring,” say the Madcap

nothing more than mixing myriad fabrics in delicious
patterns and hues to create rooms that sing with
personality and verve.”

John Loecke &
Jason Oliver
Nixon
Favorite quote?
We always turn to Mae West for a delicious quote. Our
current favorite, “I used to be Snow White, but
I drifted.”
Favorite resources for design ideas?
Vintage and contemporary design books. We cannot
get enough of a fantastic coffee table book on the
likes of Nancy Lancaster or Nicky Haslam.
Dream project or collaboration?
We are launching a bedding and window treatment
collection on HSN, and that is pretty much a dream
come true. Terrific product at a great price point, and
then we get to teach the consumer how to use the
product to create magical moments in their home.
Good design should be a dialogue, and HSN gives us
a mass platform.
Currently reading? Or last book read?
John is reading a biography of the Duchess of
Windsor, and Jason is working his way through
various books by the Mitford sisters. Jason also keeps
a copy of The World of Interiors magazine by his
bedside for inspiration by osmosis.
Words that describe you and your
approach to design?
Fun. Frisky. Fabulous.
Most proud of?
Remaining humble and always thankful.
Lunch with anyone...who would it be?
Elsie de Wolfe. Or Pippi Longstocking. Or both. That
would be simply heaven. We would discuss trellis,
Versailles, and Mr. Nilsson, the monkey, over gin and
dover sole.
We’ve always wanted to...
Visit Morocco. Have a fabric line that is sold at Calico
Corners or Jo-Ann Fabrics.
If you were a type of fabric?
John would be a Colefax & Fowler chintz with a
Chinoiserie pattern paired with trellis and fretwork.
Jason would be a vaguely Beverly Hills Hotel-inspired
palm pattern that just might have monkeys throwing
bananas at each other in the background.

Industry people you admire?
I adore the people in this industry. So many friends
for life have been created through what I do. You
would think there would be many big egos and
attitudes, but that’s not the case. Most are here
because they truly love what they do.
Trends you love?
I try not to follow trends—I would rather create
something with personality that doesn’t look like
everything else!
Trends you could have done without?
The white Mongolian lamb-covered chair and
ottoman phase that has been popular! How do you
clean that? Why would you want your furniture to
shed? If you crave one of those get a big white dog
like mine!
Do-over dream career?
I always told everyone growing up I would be a
zookeeper. If I had to pick a new career and do it all
over I would be a vet at a wildlife preserve in Africa.
Or a shoe designer.
Life has taught me...
Be humble, be grateful, be thankful.
Jennifer McConnell is the Vice President of Design
at Pearson Furniture, where she serves as the
visionary lead in all things creative—from products,
to merchandising, to showroom design. She literally
scours the globe for her inspiration, finding some of
the most unique textiles to pair with Pearson’s handcrafted frames, in the end transforming the everyday
into something exceptional. As an admired master of
her craft, Jennifer’s work recently graced the pages
of Traditional Home, which showcased her guest suite
design in the Hamptons Designer Showhouse.
What our industry needs most?
Interest from the younger generation. Upholsterers,
woodworkers, and seamstresses in our industry are
truly artists and should be recognized as such. We
need to seek out younger artisans, and help mentor
them so these skills are not lost.
A feature film is being produced
about your life. Who plays you?
A cross between Doris Day in “Pillow Talk” and
Cameron Diaz from “Something about Mary.”
If you were a type of fabric?
I would be an over-the-top brightly colored coral/
cachepot/chinoiserie print from Clarence House.
They don’t fit into every interior, but when they do
they make a statement and are the star of the room!

Favorite resources for design ideas?
Good old-fashioned magazines. I love flipping through
magazines, tearing out pages, and pinning them up until
they inspire a new idea.
Industry people you admire?
My former coworker and friend Heidi Blackwood-Batteau
and Christian Batteau left the hectic lifestyle of NYC a few
years ago, bought a farm in Arkansas, and moved their
hand-painted wallpaper studio there—Callidus Guild. It’s
inspiring. And you’d never expect the wallpaper hanging in
Tiffany & Co. was made in rural Arkansas.
Favorite city?
My home, Brooklyn! As much as I love to travel, coming
home to Brooklyn is the best. Nobody gets “stuck” in
Brooklyn. People want to be here because it is vibrant,
beautiful, and interesting.
Words that describe you?
Calm, practical, creative, and (I hope) funny.

jobbers and furniture manufacturers. Sarah was
inspired to become a textile designer by her greatgrandparents—hand-weavers who built their own
looms, which she later used to learn to weave. She
takes her inspiration from time-honored, handmade
techniques such as embroidery, quilting, batik, and
weaving, in the end striving to create jacquardloomed fabrics with depth and richness.

Sunbrella®: Fashion Without Fuss
or retailers and manufacturers that are
hungry for sales, Sunbrella® has a candy
jar that’s sure to satisfy.
“It’s filled with bleach, and soaking in it is
a swatch of Sunbrella fabric, which is still
brightly colored and intact,” says Greg
Rosendale, Market Manager for Residential
Furniture Fabrics. Also in the jar are faded,
disintegrated pieces of traditional upholstery
fabric, a striking visual illustrating of one of
the key differences between Sunbrella and
traditional, non-performance textiles.
“We doubt there is any other fabric on a furniture retailer’s floor that is as fade resistant
and comfortable as Sunbrella,” Rosendale
suggests. In fact, the amazingly soft hand of
Sunbrella remains a feature customers are still
surprised by. “It’s as luxuriously soft as any
non-performance cotton, linen, silk, or chenille—and every bit as beautiful.”
“Sunbrella is the perfect fabric for home
furnishings, because it addresses so many
consumer concerns,” Rosendale says. “Drinks
spilled on Sunbrella clean up easily with
soap and water, and bleach can be used if
28
necessary without damaging the fabric. Plus,
upholstered furniture can sit in direct sunlight,
because fading is a non-issue.” Sunbrella offers high colorfastness because every fiber
is saturated with highly UV-stable pigments.
And Sunbrella fabrics are GreenGuard®
certified for indoor air quality.

Beyond this, Rosendale is quick to point out
that it’s not simply the fabric that’s important.
“We’re selling our people, technology, and
history,” he says, adding that parent company
Glen Raven Custom Fabrics, LLC brings a rich
heritage in technical standards.
And it’s that winning combination of tough,
meticulously tested performance fabrics coupled with imaginative on-trend patterns and
colors that keeps retailers and manufacturers
coming back to Sunbrella and continuing to
push boundaries on what the fabric can bring
to home interiors and exteriors. “I’m always
excited to see what customers bring to us—it’s
incredible,” Rosendale says.

Modra: Where Art & Fabrics Fuse
F
or ShowtimeTM newcomer Modra, design
inspiration for their first collection came
via a journey through the exotic and the
tropical in the Amazon rain forest of Peru.
“Sometimes fact is stranger than fiction—and
I wanted to portray the splendor of these
natural surprises,” explains Co-Founder and
Art Director Fernando Apodaca. And so as
he canoed through stretches of the mighty
Amazon, Apodaca drew with pastels, ink,
and charcoal, artistically documenting the
essence of the region. These works were then
transformed into Modra’s first fabric collection, aptly named, Amazon. “Our creative
process and aesthetic is all about bringing
the majestic elements of nature into the
home,” says Apodaca.
“As artists we really want to bring art into
interior spaces in a multi-dimensional way,”
adds Co-Founder and Creative Director
Tamalyn Shea. “Fabrics create a mood and
impression within the first couple of seconds,
and intricacies and details really matter in
order to tell a larger story.”
Both Apodaca and Shea bring to Modra
extensive and diverse artistic backgrounds.
Apodaca, who studied printmaking and
figure painting at Florence, Italy’s Studio
Art Centers International, is a sculptor, film
director, and composer whose work has been
created and exhibited internationally. Shea
earned a bachelor’s degree in design from
UCLA, and, after a successful career in advertising print production, set her sights on
merging textiles with her creative studio.
“Even though our patterns are complex,
they are very diverse in application,” Shea
remarks. “They can breath freshness and life
in traditional room settings, and conversely
they can add warmth and depth to clean,
contemporary designs.”
Apodaca echoes her sentiments about
divergence and variety, summing it up this
way: “Things can be both simple and complex simultaneously, and it’s these layers that
tell stories, add emotion, and create a sense
of curiosity. That’s what we want to do with
Modra’s fabrics.”

SHOWTIME
As the largest decorative fabric show in the United States, Showtime is
a jewel of a fabric trade show with distinct shopping venues, each with
its own pace and ambiance. Veterans typically have shopping plans
made in advance, but if you’re new to Showtime consider these tips:
• Schedule appointments whenever possible, especially for
companies at the Market Square Textile Tower, Resource Center,
and Fabric Center, where schedules fill up quickly.
• If you don’t have appointments, the Suites at Market Square is a
good starting point.
• Shop one venue at a time—wandering is tempting but it’s a selfindulgence you can’t afford.
• Schedule your time logically to avoid making multiple trips
between buildings.
SHOWTIME’S MAIN VENUES
“SMS”
or “the suites”
The suites house well-established,
smaller, and international
suppliers. It’s also the location
for educational seminars, special
exhibits, food, and social events.
Things are less formal in the
Suites, so look at your leisure.
Appointments aren’t required.
46
Market Square Textile Tower
“MSTT”
or “the tower”
An easy walk from the Suites
through Market Square takes you
to the elevators for the tower,
home to many of the larger mills
and suppliers of leather and trim.
Showtime appointments are
common in the tower, but walk-ins
sometimes can be accommodated.
Be flexible if you don’t have an
appointment.
Resource Center
and Fabric Center
“Wrenn” and “Hamilton”
These outlying buildings are
located just a few blocks away on
Wrenn and Hamilton Streets, and
house a range of suppliers. Many
of them encourage appointments
but welcome drop-in visitors, too.
Once you’ve taken the free shuttle
ride to the buildings, it’s easy to
walk between the Resource Center
and Fabric Center.
