Q&A with "Young Traditional" Lisa Sternfeld of Studio LSID

We loved chatting with New York-based designer Lisa Sternfeld who is one of tradhome's 20 Young Traditional Designers to watch this Spring. Lisa founded Studio LSID in 2006 and she readily shared her thoughts on what’s hot this Spring.

GDG: What collections or designers are you really looking forward to seeing this Spring?

LS: I’m really excited about all of the historically significant fabrics at Clarence House, as well as Oscar de La Renta’s line at Lee Jofa. I'm excited to see Fortuny's new showroom and the amazing spring color palette from Farrow & Ball. I'm also really looking forward to all of the upcoming Spring exhibits at New York’s greatest museums!

GDG: What should we keep our eyes open for this season?

LS: Keep an eye out for vibrant color this Spring! All of the regal hues of yellows, blues and greens are simply beautiful.

GDG: What are some of the first things you're planning on doing once the weather is warmer?

LS: Spring-cleaning! I’m looking forward to finally putting away all of my heavy coats, boots and winter dressing!

A Splash of Color for Spring

Clarence House presents Zucca a chic and whimsical print in our Spring 2010 Collection.  Zucca is taken from an antique 1940’s printed silk fragment that we acquired at the Christies Auction of the textiles of  Bianchini Ferrier.  Bianchini Ferrier was one of the most influential French printed textile mills of the 20th Century. Printed in Italy on a linen and cotton groundcloth, Zucca is available in a fresh colorway like the document and in more subdued muted neutral tones.
