New York Social Diary had a really interesting article in November 2010 with interior classical designer Darren Henault and his wonderful 19th-century Fifth Avenue mansion in New York. He tells New York Social Diary that he was once an account executive for an advertising agency, and it wasn't until a friends dad who was architect noticed he had an eye for design; “You know there’s so many things that you notice, and the way that you talk about things. You really should become an interior designer.” Although Henault thought the sheer idea of designing was the "dumbest suggestion" he had heard, the friend talked him into taking a class at FIT. Henault grew up in the textile industry and has a great interest in every aspect of its production—from weaving and dying to finishing he tells Decorati. Perhaps some time in the future we can look forward to some textiles from this incredible designer. All the pictures are from New York Diary.
