India Mahdavi

The New Yorker called India Mahdavi a “virtuoso of colour” and “possessor of perfect chromatic pitch,” and her wondrous, saturated spaces range from her whimsical designs for Ladurée outposts in Los Angeles, Japan, and Geneva to her perfectly pink interior for London’s The Gallery at Sketch—the world’s most Instagrammed restaurant. Mahdavi established her design studio in 1999, followed by her furniture line and showroom a few years later, and in 2011, she created her Petits Objets shop, which contains vibrant ceramics, lighting, and accessories.

Tiffany Brooks

Tiffany Brooks, a Chicago-based designer, began her career in high-end residential property management and staging before focusing solely on interior design in 2007. She won season eight of HGTV Design Star in 2013, and she has been a regular on the network ever since. She works with a plethora of high-profile clientele when she isn’t building network-affiliated projects like the HGTV 2019 Smart Home.

Axel Vervoordt

Axel Vervoordt, a Belgian designer and trader, began his first design project, the restoration of 11 mediaeval homes in Antwerp, 50 years ago, and has since become recognised for his minimalist interiors and acute eye for art and antiques. His classic yet contemporary design has drawn a number of celebrity clientele, including Kim Kardashian and Kanye West, Robert De Niro, and Calvin Klein.

Kathryn M. Ireland

Kathryn M. Ireland, who was born in the United Kingdom, began her career as an actor, fashion designer, and filmmaker. Her most successful position, however, has been as an interior and fabric designer. Her culturally inspired textiles can be found in showrooms all over the world, and she has worked with celebrities such as Steve Martin, Julia Louis-Dreyfus, and David Mamet. The designer from Los Angeles has also written six books and participated on Bravo’s Million Dollar Decorators.

Thom Filicia

In the aughts, Thom Filicia rose to prominence as the design guru on Queer Eye for the Straight Guy. Since then, he’s continued to spread his polished style through his books, partnerships with corporations like Delta Airlines, American Express, and Radio City Music Hall, and his current Bravo TV programme, Get a Room with Carson & Thom, costarring Carson Kressley. The designer, who began his career at Parish-Hadley and other prestigious businesses, has worked with celebrities such Tina Fey and Jennifer Lopez.
