Inside the Homes of Fashion Designers

I feel like for most people, your fashion style and your home decor go hand in hand.  For instance, if you see the photos of the following fashion designers' homes and the description, you can picture the clothes they design in the interior design.

Nanette Lepore - Manhattan townhouse.  Designed by Jonathan Adler, whimsical with a dose of Hollywood glamour.

Ralph Lauren - Manhattan.  All American style, restrained yet sophisticated aesthetic.

Jill Stuart - Manhattan apartment at Phillip Johnson's Urban Glass House.  Designed by Annabelle Seldorf, simple white furnishings with a burst of color let the view of downtown Manhattan take center stage.

Michelle Smith (Label:  Milly) - Manhattan apartment.  Designed by Anik Pearson and Shaun Jackson, features vibrant fixtures and vibrant color palette.

Anna Sui - Manhattan apartment.  This Greenwich Village apartment was turned into her study/ retreat and extra closet space, reflects her eclectic style.

Betsey Johnson - Eloise Suite at the Plaza Hotel.  Playful, candy colored suite fit for a princess.

It's no surprise many fashion designers dabble in the interior design industry.  I know a lot of interior designers frown upon the crossover, but I think if you have an eye for making beautiful clothing, your skills translate easily into the home decor realm.  If it looks great, I say why not?
