Extreme glamor that is! Design Therapy spent the night at two separate parties celebrating two of designs superstars, past and present. The evening started with Kelly Wearstler at Lee Jofa launching her luxurious new fabric line that's rich with color and texture and sure to be a hit with design aficionados across the country. To show off her new fabrics, Wearstler created an incredibly chic vignette layered in shades of blue and white anchored by the most amazing faux bois desk. Great party, great turn-out and Kelly looked fantastic. Afterwards, it was on to Baker for an unveiling of the late Tony Duquette's newly re-issued furniture line and we must say-it too was stellar. Duquette's work is irreverent but elegant, and considering when it was made, way ahead of it's time (I love the snail!). I see so many of his influences in Kelly Wearstler's work-it was only fitting that they would share the spotlight on this very special evening. And although I tend not to design with such a heavy hand, I can certainly appreciate it when someone pulls it off as beautifully as these two.
