A Correspondence from Lulu I was born just after New Years in 1972, the youngest of six children. My childhood was a world of chintz and sorbet colored walls created for us by Sister Parish, whose whimsical designs proved to be very influential for me. Her striking white hair and Pekingese seemed to permeate the house—she was everywhere, from the green flowers on my curtains to the strie on my walls. I could see her in the cranberry in the library and the Chinese wallpaper in the dining room. To grow up in a house decorated by Sister Parish was somewhat like a little girl's version of Willy Wonka's Chocolate Factory. Although she may not know it, I thank her today for the impression of color and style she instilled on my subconscious. I graduated from the Parsons School of Design in New York with a degree in fine arts and interior design. Immediately after graduation, I found Paris! While living there, I studied trompe l’oeil and traveled extensively throughout India, Morocco, Italy, and Peru, collecting things that reflected what was really inside of me—rich colors paired with earthy tones and geometric patterns. I developed a strong appreciation for artistry and craftsmanship. |
