In January, AD famously publishes the AD100 list, a prestigious global who’s who of established designers, living legends, and a select group of debuts. By the February issue, which is devoted to breakthrough performances, the editors are excited to shine the spotlight on rising stars. New ideas about how to live are essential to the industry; as in any creative field, progress is limited if we only celebrate the old masters. It has been fascinating to document the process for each of the designers featured this month: How do they approach their projects, their clients, and in several stories, their own personal environments?
Architectural Digest x ten Have Quinlan - Millerton
Darren Jett believes that lifestyle is as important as design and brings the drama with a cinematic approach. (Be sure to catch our new series Behind the Design on YouTube for a deeper dive into the sexy Jett-fashioned loft shown in this issue.) Landscape architects Lauren and Stephen Stimson go back to the land on their own bucolic farm in rural New England. Mieke ten Have, a celebrated photo stylist, applies her trademark romantic style and editor’s eye to her first big decorating commission. Alyssa Kapito, recently named to the AD100, crafts a serene home for her family that perfectly expresses her signature refinement and emphasis on collectible furniture and art. In Milan, an apartment by Italian supernova Giampiero Tagliaferri showcases his European sophistication and design connois- seurship. And finally Gregory Rockwell and Hester Hodde of Gregory Rockwell Interiors take the place of honor on our cover, with the lushly moody Brooklyn house they conjured for supermodel Paloma Elsesser.
Highlighting such original voices is part of our mission, and we hope you enjoy meeting them all.
