a little bit COUNTRY,

Nicholas Kunz
DESIGNER / Nicholas KDig in this fashion designer's closet and certain words come to mind: practical, casual cool, understated, unconventional, city-and-country-chic. It's not all as contradictory as it sounds—great design matters to this fresh-faced trendsetter, but so do outdoorsy outings, like fly-fishing and surfing. The girl is a confident free-spirit and daredevil who loves to travel and has a bit of homebody in her as well.
Nicholas Kunz supports: ASPCA which mission—as stated by founder Henry Bergh—is “to provide effective means for the prevention of cruelty to animals throughout the United States".

DARLING, DARING and DRIVEN
Paris Pickett
INTERIOR DESIGNER /Paris Grant Designs
This Georgia native now calls New York City home—and it shows.
She's inherited a sense of traditionalism and timeless style, but she's got an edgy and wild side as well (plus, a penchant for black leather). An interior designer who loves to mix Art Deco glamour with a modern industrial touch, she's also a consumate hostess and entertainer. Her speciality?Intimate dinner parties and custom cocktails. But get one thing straight, this girlie-girl doesn't just plan the parties, she is admittedly the life of them, too.
Paris Pickett supports: Girls with Gifts, an organization that empowers young women and help them to realize and cultivate their talents and gifts.

your UNOFFICIAL
AMBASSADOR to PARIS
Sally Perrin
CREATIVE DIRECTOR / Perrin ParisAt first glance, she comes across as an Old School perfectionist who's equally at ease in Paris, Hollywood and New York. She loves to entertain, and knows how to import the best of each city to the other two. She has an incredible eye for art, antiques and interiors. But take a peek in her closet and you're likely to find Alexander McQueen and Rick Owens' bold designs. In other words, she's the perfect mash up of supreme polish and cool edge.
Sally Perrin supports: Dream Center LA, which purpose is to reconnect isolated people to God and a community of support by providing human services that address immediate and long-term needs in the areas of homelessness, hunger relief, medical care and education.
