The Dwell-a-rama capped last night with Dos Equis and fish tacos at Malo in Silverlake with hosts Philip Wood of Citizen-Citizen and his gorgeous other half, documentary journalist Tania Kentenjian.
When I arrived, late due to the Patricia Fields lecture at LACMA (more on that later), I found Andy and a convivial bunch of fellow design junkies around the long patio table, including Walteria Living artist Kathleen Walsh, Fitz and Su Sazama of the Fitzsu Society shops, Jean Aw and Don Frysinger of Notcot, L.A. Times journo Steffie Nelson, publicist Michelle Cotton and her beau Hugh from Alexander McQueen, LuxeHaus’s Nancy Batlin and Royal/T curator Will.
True, Fitzu and LuxeHaus are essentially competitors since A+R carries some of the same designers, including Walteria and Citizen. But it’s kind of amazing we can all get together over a beer and chips and talk about our shared enthusiasm for all things design.
