“If Design Were…” w/ Brian Duck of Atelier Management

Native angelino, Brian Duck met Lauren Nukes in 2004 while working on a Target catalogue in Palm Springs. 2 years later, Atelier Management was born to become a full-scale firm, representing some of the most relevant  photographers (Christopher Sturman, Andrew Yee, Roger Davies and David Roemer are some of my personal favorites,) hair stylists, makeup artists, wardrobe, and set designers around.  Today, their noteworthy client include: Vogue, Elle, Vanity Fair, Elie Tahari, Calvin Klein, Jill Stuart, BCBG, Apple, 20th Century Fox, Warner Brothers Pictures, Fox Television, Rolling Stone and Universal Pictures, just to name a few.

We recently sat down with Brian to discuss Atelier’s POV and creative direction for the coming year.  The result – a little exercise we call “If Design Were …”

Let’s get into Brian’s head, shall we:

 

SY: If design were an object?

BD: A doorknob

 

SY: …a song?

BD: Jóga by Björk

 

SY: … a film?

BD: Black Narcissus

 

SY: …a memory?

BD: San Francisco in 1974

 

SY: …a moment?

BD: Claes Oldenburg

 

SY: …an era?

BD: Now

 

SY: …a place?

BD: Palm Springs

 

SY: …a time of day?

BD: Sunset

 

SY: …a Person?

BD: Edith Head

 

SY: …an animal?

SY: …a city?

SY: …a fetish?

BD: Hitchcock

 

SY…an artist?

BD: Nick Cave

 

SY…a language?

Loving this Moore & Giles + Brad Ford designing for good collabo…

This one-of-a kind, “Great American Woody” was designed by Brad Ford for Moore & Giles with consultation from Jim Meehan. Outfitted with Moore & Giles leathers, it was designed to offer the ultimate in luxury tailgating and showcase the art of high-end entertaining outdoors.

Following its launch at DINING BY DESIGN New York 2011, it has traveled to some of the most exclusive design and epicurean-related events across the country. It is now the leading item on DIFFA’s “30 for 30” auction on charitybuzz.com featuring 30 exceptional, one-of-a-kind auction packages to commemorate 30 years of fighting HIV/AIDS.

Maison de Luxe at Greystone

Last week, my uber-talented designer friends, Oliver M. Furth, Philip Gorrivan & Michelle Nussbaumer invited me to the press preview for the Greystone Mansion “Maison de Luxe” showcase house.  This year’s house features the crème de la crème of the industry, who are applying their aesthetic magic to the iconic estate.  Unfortunately, I wasn’t allowed to take pics of my favorite spaces, but what I can say is that the mix of POV’s is simply inspiring.  I definitely recommend adding a trip to Greystone to your holiday itinerary if you can.

In conjunction with the City of Beverly Hills and the Friends of Greystone, Maison de Luxe opens December 2nd and runs through December 22nd.
