Debbie Millman, Design Group President, Sterling Brands.
We love New York City. Yes it's cliché but, every time we visit NYC we return inspired and focused!
Being based out of Los Angeles does present its challenges. The main one being; L.A. is notorious for people with poor taste, questionable style, and a lot of money. The trends that take precedence in this city are outright design genocide - we're looking at you Christian Audigier. Los Angeles invented the "Starlet", made rehab a lifestyle, and brought us disasters such as Lindsay, Paris, and Malibu (not a socialite). Ryan Seacrest lives here too.
Yes indeed, Los Angeles is a very peculiar place with a terrible amount of influence.
Naturally, you can understand why we love NYC so much! Every trip is a new lesson in fashion, design, architecture, gastronomy, and everything that makes us feel warm and fuzzy. Our last trip was a bonanza of information, inspiring meetings, and loads of fun - despite that it was very cold (which is the one thing we will complain about).
We had the great pleasure of spending time with the amazing Debbie Millman, and touring Sterling Brands' new office. Formerly based out of The Empire State building, Sterling Brands has relocated to NYC's TriBeCA neighborhood. The brand-spanking new offices feature views of lower Manhattan, tons of natural light, and a treasure-trove of fun office finds.
