Nina Campbell


I am fortunate to say that I have gotten a new friend. The grande dame of British design Nina Campbell was with me in South Africa. She was just the most delightful and charming, funny, unstuffy and unpretentious person. We shared that neither she nor I had formal training and we both have a certain travel and entrepreneurial streak. I know that we will be traveling together really soon. She was a blast!  We talked about going to Scotland together and I’ve never been…maybe!

    Go to Scotland, go to Scotland!! You will love it.
    I have to say, you have the most amazing life. I will be in NYC at the end of August and beginning of September and will certainly visit your VW Home and maybe catch a glimpse of you and feed off your incredible energy .

    I read your post everyday and always, you educate, inspire and entertain me,

    More of you please! Eagerly awaiting the release of your new book

    I love Nina Campbell’s work and you must go to Scotland…what a beautiful country. My mother was born there and I have a great aunt in Perth who will turn 105 this August!!

    Wow. Nina Campbell. Why not collaborate
    on a fabric line or linens.

    I’ve seen her home in shelter magazines and it is quite atractively decorated.

    Vicente Wolf + Nina Campbell reads like the best combo ever.

    I met Nina Campbell in London in 2008. She was charming and wonderful then also. I think she’s great.
