Big, brash, and bold are all words that start with the letter B--and all describe the work of Kelly Wearstler. Kelly brings sexy back to design with her mix of large scale and public projects--her aesthetic can best be compared to the famed Dorthy Draper, but with an added sexiness found in our contemporary context. There is something effortless, yet meticulously planned and executed about Kelly's work-a west coast sensibility with a dash of South Beach flair all in the context of high style.

Kelly commands color in a manor which is foreign to most, almost brazen--lush colors and textures can be found in both her residential and commercial projects. To be frank I don't really know how she does it. . . she uses the most luxurious textiles--the most luxurious of everything and somehow makes it all work together cohesively. Her projects can be found from Los Angeles to New York City and her empire extends far beyond her interiors. Kelly has created a venerable design empire including: design/lifestyle books, product lines at retailers like Bergdorf Goodman, and a presence in the media. Kelly has taken her work to a level rarely achieved by most designers: super-stardom. Take a peek below and indulge yourself in pure GLAMOUR!
