GDG: What are you looking forward to this Spring?
JH: I am thrilled for Spring as I see the market coming back. I feel that everyone is ready for a Spring fix, whether it is a new room or a new home. I see fabulous color, both rich and elegant. I am thrilled to kiss goodbye the pseudo-Hollywood glam, too. I have had enough of it!
GDG: What should we keep our eyes open for this Spring?
JH: The hottest trend I feel is this very downtown look meets Upper East Side. The outcome is this chic, hip, conversant design with traditional vestiges but with a twist. Everyone should think "downtown" for design inspiration. It's the difference between getting dressed to have dinner at da Silvano versus Daniel. I also think that crystal is getting bigger and mixing crystal with traditional design is fabulous.
GDG: Is there anything that you can't wait for this season?
JH: On my personal radar, I am doing the “his” master bath at the Kips Bay Decorators’ Show House and I'm very excited! I am also doing the Décor by the Shore Show house in New Jersey, which should be amazing.
GDG: What collections or designers are you really looking forward to seeing?
JH: I would have to say for fabrics, Bergamo, Donghia and Holly Hunt. Lorin Marsh is one of my all time favorites for the hippest furniture, and Moura Starr is a new favorite!
GDG: Can you share any fun examples of going stir crazy this Winter?
JH: Absolutely! Me standing in Bergdorf [Goodman] at the makeup counters trying on bronzer because of how pale I've been!
