Kelly Wearstler
Kelly Wearstler (born November 21, 1967) is an American designer. After founding her own design firm Kelly Wearstler Interior Design (or KWID) in the mid-1990s, her ensuing work within the hotel industry built her reputation in California,〔 with ''The New Yorker'' dubbing her "the presiding grande dame of West Coast interior design."〔 According to ''The New York Times'', "her playful, elegantly over-the-top designs for the Avalon Beverly Hills changed the look of boutique hotels around the world,"〔 and her designs for the Viceroy hotel chain in the early 2000s have also been noted for their influence on the design industry.〔 She has designed properties for clients such as Gwen Stefani,〔 Cameron Diaz〔 and Stacey Snider,〔 and served as a judge on all episodes of Bravo's ''Top Design'' reality contest in 2007 and 2008.〔
Wearstler has released four books, and her first, ''Modern Glamour,'' was named a best seller by the ''Los Angeles Times'' in 2006.〔 Other publications include her second book ''Domicilium Decoratus'' and her most recent, ''Rhapsody,'' in 2012. Her eponymous luxury lifestyle brand incorporates her own designs as well as pieces she finds at auction houses, and she sells her own furniture, lighting, home accessories, jewelry and objets d'art collections out of the Kelly Wearstler flagship store opened in 2011 in Los Angeles.〔 Wearstler is currently designing interiors for the Proper Hotel Group, a new hotel chain,〔 and she is designing the $800 million renovation for Westfield Century City〔 in Los Angeles.〔 She was a regular guest editor with ''InStyle Magazine'' in 2014.〔
== Early life and education==
Kelly Wearstler was born in 1967 in Myrtle Beach, South Carolina.〔 Raised in Myrtle Beach,〔 her father was an engineer while her mother was an antique dealer.〔 Her mother's interest in design had a major influence on Wearstler at a young age; she would come home from school to often find rooms painted new colors.〔 Wearstler and her older sister would accompany their mother to thrift stores,〔 auctions and flea markets when they were young,〔 which helped develop Wearstler's early interest in fashion.〔 She started collecting vintage clothing at age fifteen.〔 She attended the Massachusetts College of Art in Boston, taking classes in architecture〔 and obtaining her bachelor's degree in interior and graphic design.〔 Paying her way through college〔 by working as a waitress,〔 she held internships at the design firms Cambridge Seven Associates in Boston and Milton Glaser in New York.〔
Wearsler moved to Los Angeles in her mid-twenties,〔 hoping to work in the film industry〔 as a set decorator.〔 In 1992 she was a production assistant on ''HouseSitter'', and the following year she served as an uncredited assistant art director on ''So I Married an Axe Murderer''.〔 After working small roles on several sets〔 she decided not to pursue a film career,〔 though the experience did lead to an interior design commission from a film producer.〔 While working as a hostess at a Beverly Hills restaurant in 1994, Wearstler was scouted by Marilyn Grabowski, who at the time was a photography editor for ''Playboy''.〔 The meeting led to Wearstler being featured as the September Playmate of the Month under the name Kelly Gallagher, in what ''The New Yorker'' described as a "neoclassical" shoot〔 by photographers Arny Freytag and Stephen Wayda.〔 Excluding several future cameos in ''Playboy'' documentaries,〔 Wearstler's association with the franchise was relatively fleeting,〔 and she used the money from ''Playboy'' to pay off student loans and help start her interior design business.〔
