Playful Pillows to Make Simon Doonan Proud

CasaSugar — Wed, 11 Aug 2010 10:00:29 PDT

Jonathan Adler tweeted this photo yesterday of his hubby Simon Doonan wearing his Round St. Tropez Pillow ($98) on his head, alongside the caption, "Oh why not make it pillow day? Another friend getting cute and cozy with a Jonathan Adler pillow!" King of multicolored floral button-downs, Pope Doonan has always had a playful attitude toward design; it's no wonder Adler, with his vibrant and lively "happy chic" style, is his perfect match!

Not only is this photo good for a laugh, but it also reminds us to lighten up a bit! Have fun with design! Of course, picking up some housewares from Jonathan Adler is the surest route to having fun under your own roof. But I thought I'd round up some more playful pillows that would no doubt make Doonan proud. Check out my lively picks below.

Freaky or Fabulous: Barneys' Bloody Window Display

FabSugar — Fri, 24 Jul 2009 03:00:22 PDT

If you happened to walk by Barneys New York on Madison Avenue earlier this week, this is one of the gory window displays you would have seen. Both A.L.C.'s and Helmut Lang's windows, featuring dying mannequins and splattered fake blood, appalled most passersby. Creative director Simon Doonan is usually the one that approves window displays, but he says he was away overseeing advertising shoots when they were installed. The displays were ordered to come down as soon as Doonan heard. Do you think it's freaky or still fabulous?

Jonathan Adler and Simon Doonan Describe Their Greenwich Village Home

CasaSugar — Mon, 22 Jun 2009 12:00:27 PDT

Most of us describe our homes in fairly generic terms, tossing out "modern," "traditional with a twist," or "relaxed Regency," if pressed for a characterization. Well, leave it to Jonathan Adler and Simon Doonan to turn dull description on its head.
To hear how they describe their home,

In the June 22 issue of the New Yorker, Jonathan Adler and Simon Doonan take writer Ariel Levy through a tour of their Greenwich Village apartment. While there weren't any photos of the apartment, the quotes were vibrant enough to paint quite the picture of their home (and if you're curious, check out these 2005 photos from the New York Times. In the meanwhile, I have to share my absolute favorite quotes from Jonathan and Simon, as they describe their style:

"Palatial gay fantasia." - Doonan
“Glamorous romper room . . . Because Johnny and I are very infantile."- Doonan
“This is the antithesis of the two-room flat where I grew up." - Doonan
"It's mantique-y" - Adler

I caught a great National Public Radio segment this week featuring Jonathan Adler and Simon Doonan remembering their fathers. Since so many of you are Adler/Doonan fans, I thought you might enjoy listening to this Father's Day interview with Simon and Jonathan. It made me think about how I relate my favorite stories about my father, or describe him to friends who haven't made his acquaintance. So whether you're making a long-distance call to wish your father a good Father's Day, or spending the day with him, here's hoping you have a great day with your dad!
