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.

Veranda Redefines Luxury

Friday, April 23rd, 2010

Yesterday at the PDC Veranda hosted a documentary and all star panel on Redefining Luxury. Martyn Lawrence-Bullard, Windsor Smith and Peter Campbell were among the panelists.

Unlike the Westweek event a few weeks ago, which completely neglected any greenspeak, Veranda celebrated the dynamic eco duo from the Q Collection, awarding them with one of their four coveted awards for the Art of Design.

Each winner and all the panelists championed the green cause, one even defined luxury as a clean glass of water. Again and again they reminded us that respect for the planet’s resources and healthy built environments go hand in hand with luxury, something our firm has been touting for over a decade. The slides of their projects were breath taking and entertaining, especially the image of Kid Rock’s bedroom which looked nothing like I thought it would. It was originally designed as a love nest for him and Pamela Anderson and apparently they were quite taken by a trip to St. Lucia. Windsor Smith intelligently spoke about redesigning the way we use space, sharing plans on her new Mandeville Canyon equestrian compound. I wanna be Windsor when I grow up!

Dedar and Kneedler Fauchere held the reception. As always the fabrics, flowers and food were scrumptious. My favorites were the chocolate dipped macaroons. Because an HGTV camera was following me around filming a day in my life, I received extra attention and a special, little interview from Carolyn Englefield, Veranda’s Editor At Large. Fun fun fun.
