Happy Birthday Union Jack!
April marks the 400th birthday of one of the world's most recognizable designs-- the UK flag union jack.
Jack's an internationally recognized symbol for the UK, Rock and Roll, and daring fashion.
When Vivienne Westwood set her sights on creating a luxury rug for The Rug Company she came up with the Union Jack rug, among other designs. The London based Rug Company also took a stab at reviving tapestries in union jack style. In 2002 Lucinda Chambers designed the exuberant Jubilee wall hanging, and tapestries are suddenly cool again.
Two fitting tributes to an iconic design.
