In what will be the first in a series of posts on people who inspire (and sometimes amuse) me, I would like to introduce you to Kelly Wearstler.

Kelly, Kelly, Kelly. One of the coolest personalities out there has to be Kelly Wearstler, interior designer extraordinaire. I will admit that she first came to my attention as one-third of the judging panel on the Bravo TV show Top Design (a fourth judge was added in the second season), however she was already famous in the design world. While her signature design is extremely opulent (described often as “Hollywood Regency” or “Maximalism”) and typified by bold uses of colour, pattern and texture and my tastes run along more minimalist lines, I have a lot of respect for what she does and the results are stunning. I also have to admit that every episode of Top Design was watched, not only with an eye to see what the designers would be doing, but also to see what Ms Wearstler would be wearing!

The hair, the clothes, the attention to detail: fantastic, beautiful, elegant and quirky. She’s like one of her rooms come to life. The Lady Gaga of the design-world.

Bravo doesn’t appear to have any plans to bring Top Design back. Kelly, you and your outfits will be sorely missed
