Fashion influences the work of interior design icon Kelly Wearstler. She explains how her passion for fashion flows seamlessly into her interior designs. She draws inspiration from fashion items such as shoes and handbags, which she translates into textures and shapes in furniture and interior decorations. She says this in an interview with Bazaar.
She also stresses that fashion and interior design stem from the same creative sources and that both disciplines exude personality and emotion. Wearstler uses fashion as a catalyst in her design approach, playing with contrasts and combining elements from different eras and styles.
She also talks about her fascination with fashion history and the work of influential designers such as Elsa Schiaparelli and Yayoi Kusama, as well as her support for young, innovative fashion designers who embrace sustainability and individuality. Fashion, according to Wearstler, influences not only what she wears, but also her design process and vision, referring to the impact of iconic brands and contemporary fashion houses on her work.
