ELLE DECOR is proud to support the

Savannah College of Art and Design, an

impressive multicampus teaching facility

where young creative talents get a

jump start on their careers Be sure to

check out the school’s website, scad.edu.

ast month, while announcing our upcom-ing 20th anniversary, I asked readers to send me their thoughts about ELLE DECOR I did so with some hesitation: Typically the vast majority of people who take the time to mail a comment to a magazine are unrivaled in their crank-iness But I was sure I was up to the task, having survived two seasons of wildly snarky blog posts regarding my stern

role on Bravo’s reality-competition show, Top Design

Hap-pily, no emotional armor has been required

One of my favorite responses is from a woman who writes, “The houses you show us, houses which someone like me who lives in a little Wisconsin city of 3,000 would never otherwise see, give us insight into the souls of the homeowners Studying these places and their owners not only puts magic into our lives but spurs our creativity to make our own homes soulful and joyous.”

Wow Those are words an editor truly lives for In fact, that is exactly the reaction we seek with every issue we produce Dazzlingly elegant, heart-poundingly fabulous rooms most people can only fantasize about never fail to catch our eye, but they are only part of the recipe Such homes consistently share our pages with equally appeal-ing yet more pragmatic spaces packed with smart, useful solutions to everyday decorating concerns And even if you can only dream about them, over-the-top interiors have their place—they are meant to inspire you to decorate your own home with more pizzazz, more fl air, more heart Inspi-ration has always been the essence of ELLE DECOR: We not only invite you to get to know our international styleset-ters up close and personal, we hope you’ll be as excited as

we are about the way they choose to live Most important, though, is that you fi nd ways to adapt their ideas and make them your own—whatever your budget

Jim Shi The former editor of f ashionweekdaily.com was dazzled by Cartier’s private dinner (“Rock Stars,” page 58) to debut two jewelry lines and a video installation by David Lynch “Cartier always produces masterful events that transport guests to another realm,” he says Shi

writes for V Magazine , Marie Claire , and the British edition of Vogue .

Joshua McHugh “The way she layers colors and patterns made for such lively images,” says the photographer of decorator Alessandra Branca’s Manhattan home (“Perfect Balance,” page 132) McHugh’s

photographs also appear in Interior Design and House Beautiful

Tim McKeough The writer loved the spiraling staircase in the newly opened Armani/5th Avenue store (What’s Hot! Shops, page 42) but was most taken with the fi tting rooms “They’re like little pods with

fabric-covered walls.” McKeough contributes to Fast Company and Wired

By Kamala Nair

Charlotte Druckman When interviewing Catherine Malandrino

about her favorite things (Shortlist, page 56), Druckman was struck by

the fashion designer’s diverse range of interests “She appreciates

ev-erything from R&B music to a garden in the South of France,” the New

York–based journalist says “It’s a balance of practicality, luxury, and

natural beauty.” Druckman has been published in T: The New York

Times Style Magazine , Travel + Leisure , and InStyle

Alexandra Wentworth Writing about the Washington, D.C.,

home she shares with husband George Stephanopoulos, host of

ABC News’ This Week , and their two daughters allowed Wentworth

to refl ect on her style accomplishments (“Capital Idea,” page 106) “I

love when I take a chance and hand-dye a rug myself or cover a wall

in seashells and it works,” the actress says Wentworth, a regular

guest on Oprah Fridays Live , is the creator of and lead character on

the Starz television series Head Case

Southern Style

As a fan and former resident of New Orleans, I en-joyed last year’s article on Thomas Jayne’s apart-ment [“Quarter Master,” July/August 2008 ] and was thrilled to see ELLE DECOR head back to the Big Easy

to show the stunning home of Allison Kendrick [“Healing Power,” March 2009 ] The elegant interiors were the perfect complement to the landmark archi-tecture Thank you for highlighting residences that typify the beauty and rich history of this fi ne city

Ann Murphy, via e-mail

Creative Thinking

I am a 50-year-old wannabe designer who peruses every issue of your magazine I loved Adam Lippes’s dining room in the October 2008 issue [“Sky High”],

so I freehanded my interpretation of his Fromental wall covering in my half-bath and added a $100 pendant light based on his Swarovski chandelier

Maybe one day I can have the real deal, but today I

am happy to be inspired by ELLE DECOR and to strive for the same feeling as the high-end look I can’t wait for next month’s ideas

Becky Charles, Mooresville, NC

Universal Appeal

I loved the international flair in your March issue, from all the fabulous ikats you featured to the little Turkish-fl ag pillow in Freddie Leiba’s guest bedroom [“Flawless Finish”] It was also great to see Nathan

Thomas of Top Design [What’s Hot! Top Design]

He is so innovative and daring—I’m excited to see what he will do in the future

Lisa Martin, Concord, NH

Harmonious Haven

Anne Becker’s apartment is the most serene and beautiful I have ever seen [“Worldly-Wise,” March]

In the article, she indicated she was ready to jettison her large lilac sectional sofa because it was too per-manent I think she should follow that impulse and, coincidentally, my apartment and I are ready for such lovely permanence!

Robyn Ryan, New York City

Time Flies

I have just returned from a fi ve-day trip to Hong Kong and wanted to let you know what a pleasure it was to spend some of the 15-hour flight with my March

ELLE DECOR As always, your magazine was filled with intriguing homes and people

Victoria H Greenwood, via e-mail

Good Sport

I consider it a treat when ELLE DECOR arrives in the mail, and when I saw the March cover I just had to write to tell you about a game I play with a friend of mine while looking through the magazine It’s called Spot the Suzani For that issue it was too easy—there was one right on the cover! Usually you have to look rather persistently, but you’ll find one or two I have several suzanis in my house and love them for their bold yet imperfect appearance We look forward to continuing our game and invite others to join

Armani/5th Avenue

A shimmering glass box showcases all the Italian superstar’s designs under one roof

The base of the sculptural staircase.

Emporio Armani women’s collection on the second floor See Resources

The current economic environment may be turbulent, but that hasn’t

stopped Giorgio Armani from conjuring his own retail storm On

Man-hattan’s Fifth Avenue, the famed fashion designer has unveiled his

larg-est U.S store to date, featuring a swirling three-story central staircase

that resembles bolts of fabric caught in a tornado

The sprawling 43,000-square-foot glass emporium is Armani’s fi fth

global multi brand fl agship where all of the house’s labels—from home

furnishings and jewelry to cosmetics and clothing collections—can be

found under one roof The approach, explains the designer, refl ects the

way people shop today “Fifth Avenue exemplifi es important changes

that have occurred in the habits of consumers,” says Armani, pointing

out the close proximity of Cartier and H&M here “You fi nd storied luxury

boutiques rubbing shoulders with the newly arrived fast-fashion fi rms

More and more, people enjoy purchasing across price ranges and

mix-ing and matchmix-ing items rather than buymix-ing total looks.”

Not that his company has lost any cachet in the process At the

glamorous store-opening party during Fashion Week in February, the

glitterati turned out in force to wish Armani well Victoria Beckham,

Alicia Keys, Leonardo DiCaprio, and Caroline Kennedy packed in

alongside Mayor Michael R Bloomberg, who called the store w
