Last week, I traveled to Los Angeles as a social media ambassador for the Legends of La Cienega 2014 Event. I was so honored to be among these fabulous social media gurus, shown above, for the glamorous west coast design event. It was an amazing whirlwind week of design related activity. I have so much to share, there is no way I can write one post about the three days of design Heaven I experienced while in LA. Get ready for a chain of posts, that will make you wish you were at LCDQLA. If you are a designer or in the design industry and haven't attended a Legends event, you must put it on your bucket list immediately. The who's who of the interior design world was in attendance. The Legends Event for designers is equivalent to the Oscars for actors or Sundance for filmmakers. Red carpets were rolled out on the streets of the design district and we were made to feel like celebrities.
One of the most honored activities of the event is the designer decorated windows of the shops in this legendary design mecca. 49 top designers from across the country received coveted invitations to design windows in this years event. The theme of the event was "Novel Interiors, " Story Telling by Design." The designers chose a novel as the inspiration for their window designs. It was exciting to see the creativity of each designer on display. I can't wait to share my top 10 windows, but I'm saving that for another post. It was a fascinating week of design panels, cocktail parties, power lunches, celebrity designer spotting and more! I hope you will enjoy reading more about the events of the week. I have so much to share!
