A glamorous through-line connects designer Kelly Wearstler’s projects: from the BG Restaurant at Bergdorf Goodman, Proper hotel interiors and the upcoming Ulla Johnson boutique in Los Angeles to homes for Cameron Diaz and Gwen Stefani.
Her exuberant approach to combining sumptuous color and pattern with contemporary and vintage finds makes her spaces — as well as her lifestyle collections, online Gallery and furniture collabs like Nudo with Arca — instantly recognizable.
The award-winning tastemaker continues to innovate environments from her home base in Los Angeles, where she lives with husband Brad Korzen, their three sons and their dogs. Here’s a look at her fabulous warm-weather finds.
“For style and necessity, a good sun hat is a staple at the beach to stay protected — this Jacquemus hat is perfect.”
“In the summer, sunglasses are the anchor of your look. The sublime craftsmanship of Jacques Marie Mage shades hits peak French chic with their Lou Doillon collaboration.”
“When hosting friends for cocktails, I love to bring a little materiality into the mix. A well-crafted margarita will look amazing in this.”
“The ’90s-inspired spherical shape of these speakers elevates them to a design object.”
“The large ‘Heath’ bowls look amazing when entertaining as they are elevated above the other dishes, and they’re also an impactful sculptural object in an entryway.”
“I always need a waterproof carryall when I’m at the beach or by the pool. I love the graphic nature of the Bao Bao Issey Miyake bag.”
“These stackable chairs, designed in 1971, are so effortless. The lightweight nature keeps them super flexible, so you can change your dining location in your house easily.”
“This ’80s-inspired take on a two-piece can seamlessly transition from day to night and pairs well with denim.”
“I picked up a set of these paddles last year in Brazil and have so much fun playing with my boys on the beach near our home in Malibu.”
“White nails look amazing against sun-kissed skin. I’ll be wearing this Dior lacquer all summer long.”
“I will be gifting the Loewe ‘Liquorice’ candles to all my hosts this summer.”
“Paco Rabanne’s iconic 1969 metal bags can be worn day or night. They bring the right touch of edge to any look.”
“The fluted bowl is such a beautiful centerpiece for a kitchen table or counter. I love it filled with organic finds from the farmers market.”
