Designer-to-the-stars Kelly Wearstler has parlayed her glamorous portfolio of critically acclaimed, A-list-approved interiors into a well-oiled business that creates highly regarded furniture, lighting, rugs, home decor—and, yes, the residential and hotel design that originally made her famous.
After college, I wanted to start my own interior design business. I was introduced through a friend to a Hollywood producer and his wife to redesign their dining room. They loved it, and I ended up designing the entire home. I did not follow the trends of that time period, and it paid off. The project got published and I started Kelly Wearstler Interior Design. I remain true to my voice, true to my vision, and do not allow what others are doing to dictate my creative process.
My first restaurant was BG at Bergdorf Goodman. It was an incredible honor to work with such an iconic retailer, and it gave me a real sense of accomplishment. I have been fortunate to work with incredible clients throughout my career and consider them to be my greatest muses. I feel so privileged and excited to do what I love every day.
