Kathryn M. Ireland Designer, one of the most influential figures in interior and textile design; star of Bravo's Million Dollar Decorators; has designed interiors for Steve Martin, Julia Louis- Dreyfus, and David Mamet, among others. Cool in my field. One of the coolest things in the design and architecture world today is the integration of AI as a visualization tool. I'm incorporating AI into my interiors work, using it to visualize how specific furnishings will look in a space, test layout options, and explore renovation possibilities. It's a valuable tool for collaborating with clients to imagine the full potential of a room. In the world around me. The David Hockney exhibition at Fondation Louis Vuitton in Paris. The exhibition occupies the entire building and brings together more than 400 of his works from 1995 to 2025. Martyn Lawrence Bullard Rose to fame on Bravo's Million Dollar Decorators and remains a fixture on the AD100 list; has designed homes for Cher, Ellen Pompeo, and the Kardashians, as well the Colony Palms Hotel in Palm Springs. T he resurgence of vintage, from '90s clothing to vinyl records, is allowing people to express their own style through nostalgia and a feeling of the familiar in such uncertain times. Jessica Burnham Director of the Human-Centered Design & Innovation program at the Lyle School of Engineering at SMU; brings design to unexpected places, such as civic engagement, local governance, and other hyper-local efforts; program director and clinical assistant professor of the Master of Arts in Design and Innovation (MADI) program at SMU. W e need to have new experiences, new environments, and new challenges to keep us fresh. The latest and coolest thing I've done is visiting Amy Allen and Nikita Agarwal at the Amari Head Spa. They provide a fully educational and relaxing experience all around pampering and nourishing your scalp. Truman Wilson Dallas native and Southern Methodist University rising junior; son of art collectors and philanthropists Christen and Derek Wilson; automobile enthusiast who started an exclusive car show that takes place throughout the year in Highland Park Village @corsadevilla. Cool in my field. Cool is when brands look backward and still lap the present. Porsche's Turbo 50 Years, Mercedes G-Class Stronger Than the 1980s, Koenigsegg's manual-hybrid CC850. These aren't nostalgia plays, they're callbacks to their roots. Cool isn't copy-paste heritage; it's heritage with intent. In the world around me. Cool is Monterey Car Week. It's where a $30M Ferrari can park next to a widebody 911, and they somehow both belong. It's not just a car event, it's the Met Gala for machines. Anita Jaisinghani Indian-born chef, founder, co-owner, and maven of Houston's Pondicheri and Pondicheri Bake Lab + Shop; impresario of e-commerce site india1948.com; her book, Masala: Recipes from India, the Land of Spices, received a James Beard nomination. Cool in my field. A croissant! The original idea and technique are old, but oh so brilliant. Also, because there are a gazillion ways to make one and every bakery has their own spin and own flavors; it's so great to be able to explore that. It's the defining pastry of our time. The iconic croissant is always, always in Paris. However, I had the best one ever at Supermoon Bakehouse in NYC about a month ago. It was filled with cheese, tomatoes, and their homemade chile crisp. In the world around me. Finding ways to use less or no plastic. We all need to rid our bodies and lives of plastic, and there is no easy way since it's enmeshed in our lives. Harry and Laura Slatkin Revolutionaries and innovators … and might we say founders of the global luxury candle market via their brand Nest. Created lines for the likes of Christian Dior and Jonathan Adler. Laura: A true home fragrance aficionado cares just as much about creating a mood for themselves as they do others. Lighting a candle when you're alone? A solitude scent. That's cool in my book.
