Brittany Bromley When you grow up with Alessandra Branca as a
close family friend, you’re bound to speak fluent classicism. Brittany does—in today’s
fresh vernacular. The Chicago-born, Bedford, New York-based designer gets us. She
knows we want a to-die-for traditional French bergère—covered in a performance
bouclé wool that merely shrugs when wet bathing suits are headed its way.
Beata Heuman
Dare we call her a bit of a cheeky monkey? This London
designer learned the biz from irrepressible icon Nicky Haslam.
Now she’s punching up traditional style with playful color and
irreverent attitude—and we’re bananas about the look.
Ryan
Saghian
We fell under the spell of this L.A. charmer
when we set eyes on his über-luxe kitchen
designs. (Yes, classic black and white look
even better in the form of a goes-on-
forever black marble backsplash.) Inspired
by the high style of Dorothy Draper and
Tony Duquette—and the rich patterns and
colors of his Iranian heritage—Ryan
reinterprets the glamour of Old
Hollywood through a California modern
lens. That vision? Definitely 20/20.
