Architectural Digest Has a Cool New Feature

Thursday, August 26th, 2010

Paige Rense gave us a going away present in the latest and her last issue of Architectural Digest.

Designers’ Own Homes- it seems like every other issue covers this topic, but this time there was a little something extra on select designer’s pages. A Matrix looking “tag” now allows you to snap a shot with your smart phone and watch interviews with the world’s best interior designers. It was like I sat in a meeting with Mica Ertegun, Mariette Himes Gomez, Juan Montoya and Thad Hayes during the 3 hours it took to highlight my hair this morning. How’s that for muli-tasking?!

I hope Margaret Russel, the new lady at the helm, decides to keep the feature in every issue and other editors follow suit. Interviews I’d like to watch include: Victoria Hagan, Karin Blake, Bunny Williams, Kelly Wearstler, Jennifer Post, Joanne de Guardiola, Martyn Lawrence Bullard, Peter Marino, Ann Getty, Candace Olson, Nina Seirafi, Suzzane Tucker, Jeff Lewis, Kenneth Brown, Barclay Butera, Windsor Smith and even though he’s not a designer, Mayer Rus. Anyone listening?

Until now, I had to fight traffic, pay enormous sums for parking and walk unusally long distances (usually in heels) through design centers, trade shows or showrooms to listen to these people speak. It was worth it because I ALWAYS learned something valuable. They are the best of the best after all. But now, I can just scan and view anytime, any place.

Thanks for the parting gift Paige, we’ll miss you.

Los Angeles Interior Designers…Who's on Top?

Monday, December 28th, 2009

Lately I’ve been doing a lot of market research for our new retail shop and discovered who ranks where in the Los Angeles interior design world (based on keyword searches, recent publications and blog/website mentions). Being number four never felt so good.

1. Kelly Wearstler- licensed everywhere, hosts Top Design, is entirely FAB.
