Erin Featherstone's Pad

I will admit that until April 2010 I had no idea who Erin Featherstone was (other than perhaps a true incarnation of a water nymph). I discovered who she was in the context of her being named a guest designer and creative consultant for Juicy Couture that year. Instantly my ears perked up. Juicy had always been a favorite of mine as a teenager; however, since finishing puberty it had taken rather a back seat to some of the more 'adult' houses. I became once again interested in the line when they created its off shoot 'Bird'. Although I can't claim to have ever purchased anything from the line I do admire its adherence to the ethos of what Juicy Couture is while shall we say butching it up a bit. Essentially it is what the Juicy Couture girl might wear after a piercing and a tattoo. The colors are darker, the image is more rock and roll and there are no cheesy logos or sayings in sight.

Below are photos of Erin Featherstone's apartment. I find it interesting that she studied at UC Berkley and then at Parsons in Paris because when I see her apartment I do instantly see a Southern Californian esthetic tempered by a European influence.

I think it will be interesting to see where Juicy Couture goes with her new position at its helm. With an aesthetic like this I could imagine myself again wearing her Juicy in a few years.

I adore the massive stack of wood. Just makes me think more that she's some kind of woodland fairy for some reason.
 Not going to lie, this is a tiny bit creepy...
I LOVE THIS ROOM!
I love this settee/ coffee table- gorg.
 Kind of love how sparse this room is. It makes the bed seem alllll the more inviting.
