Oscar de la Renta, Vera Wang and other big-name fashion designers aren't only about runways and high-end clothing. Their stylish home collections can be just as fashionable.


Wang's dinnerware collaboration with Wedgwood is an extension of her bridal expertise. Her bone china gilded weave collection, accented with an elegant border of thin gold lines, reflects the same simplistic and sophisticated approach to style as her gowns.


Vivienne Westwood's Squiggle rug for The Rug Company is a throwback to her 1981 "Pirates" theme collaboration with the late Malcolm McLaren. And Oscar de la Renta's bohemian Brushstroke dinnerware collection is inspired by the landscapes of the designer's home country of Dominican Republic. There's no shortage of chic in these designer lines.
