85 SOUTHERN of STYLE DISPATCH WISDOM AT FOUND DISCIPLES F or Texas Design Week Houston, Architectural Digest's AD PRO editor Katy B. Olson moderated a panel discussion on contemporary design in the traditional South with New Orleans designer Shaun Smith and Houston's Paloma Contreras, hosted by Ruth Davis at her beloved home design store Found. In the lively discussion, both designers agreed they still recommend formal dining rooms to their young clients — Smith invites clients to his own home to show them the art of the dinner party. Smith also spilled his secret sources: He buys most of his antiques via Instagram and through New Orleans Auction Galleries. Olson introduced Architectural Digest's new members-only designer resource AD PRO, which not only includes comprehensive industry coverage but grants access to the Architectural Digest archives in a searchable format — a treasure trove of inspiration, to be sure. After the panel, guests talked shop with Olson, Smith, and Contreras while a beautiful table of iced teas and mimosas, BLTs, and mini chicken-salad sandwiches stood ready — perfect Southern picnic fare.
