Miles Redd Talks With Us

Neo-traditionalist Miles Redd loves color and is not afraid to us it. His unexpected color applications and fabric selections have made him one of the best colorists in a new generation of traditionalists.  His knowledge of antiques, the way he uses them in a room, and fresh ideas has this Bunny Williams alum one to watch. He worked early in his career and learned from the best. In addition to having his own design firm, he serves as the creative director of Oscar de la Renta Home, who launches a fabric line with Lee Jofa this August. We caught up with him recently.
