IF YOU’VE EVER EMBARKED ON A HOME RENOVATION PROJECT or planned a wedding, you’ve probably created a mood board. Maybe it was a collection of Pinterest pins or maybe it was magazine pages collaged on poster board. The point is, this vision is supposed to bring a layer of depth and a sense of unity to the finished project. Stylists Corrie Pellerin and Aimee Gowland take that step to heart. When they plan a CUE photo shoot, they bring mood boards to the conference room table. A lot of mood boards. “Art in Bloom could be gorgeous,” Pellerin said, pulling out a photo of a flower-crowned model. “What about Think Pink — a fun take on the pink trend?” Gowland suggested. A third concept popped up—the Alice in Wonderland tea party—and we ran with it. The gardens at Houmas House Plantation proved a fertile place for photographer Greg Miles to let loose his imagination. He put model Helena Koclanes under

The spread concludes with a macaron-laden tea party table worthy of the Mad Hatter. There are a few other references in the spread.

AIRSTREAM ANN

BY LEE CUTRONE PHOTOS BY EUGENIA UHL S T YLED BY JILL DUPRÉ

Josh Mayer surveys the view

HOW DESIGNER JILL DUPRE REVIVED A 1960 AIRSTREAM TRAILER “IT WAS A LEARNING CURVE FOR SURE, NO PUN INTENDED,” says designer Jill Dupre, referring to the rounded edges of a 1960 Tradewind Airstream camper she recently renovated. “It’s like a whole house in 20 feet.” Dupre had years to think about the project. She’d wanted an Airstream since childhood and began looking for one after staying in a boutique “Airstream hotel” in Marfa, Texas. But dreaming of owning an Airstream and actually renovating one that hit the road during the Kennedy era were two different things. “I knew I could make it look good,” she says. “But I had to figure out how to get someone who could make everything — electrical, plumbing, gas — work together.” Dupre and her husband Josh Mayer purchased the trailer two years ago from

a friend of a friend in Baton Rouge. The previous owner used it only once a year, and it was in relatively good and mostly original condition, with the exception of a few updates made in the 1970s. Dupre named the camper after her grandmother, Ann. “My grandfather would always say, ‘Let’s hit the road, Ann,’” Dupre says. “It’s something she would have really loved.” She gutted the interior, which entailed making cosmetic and mechanical improvements, and documented the process on her blog (www.jilldupre. com). She worked with a contractor who specialized in boats, then hired a carpenter to add the finishing touches. “I like renovating because I like the collaboration of artists and craftsmen,” Dupre says. The original wood surfaces were painted white. A space-saving, energy

efficient on-demand water heater replaced the old, bulky water heater and a combination air conditioner/heater unit replaced the old heater. Wiring got an update. Linoleum flooring was scraped away and replaced by nonslip rubber flooring with subtle silver striping. Dupre swapped out dated lighting for long-lasting, energy-saving LED fixtures. The banquette-style table that converted into a bed (a 1970s update of the original sofa that doubled as a bed) was removed. In its place, Dupre designed a new banquette table on a hydraulic pole that can be lowered and topped with cushions to create a double bed. There also is a bedroom with room for two. By day, the sleeping areas function as sofa seating. Dupre scoured Home Depot, Target, Ikea, Vintage Trailer Supply and other online sources for everyday materials that could be used in inventive ways. Leather belts from Target fasten the trailer’s privacy curtains and suspend toilet paper above the tiny bathroom vanity, so it won’t get wet when guests take a shower. She also brainstormed with friends. “We have four friends with vintage Airstreams,” she says. “I would call and pick their brains.” Decorative details were important. Scraps of Italian laminate left over from the counters made sleek, modernist panels for drawers and cabinets. Select areas of honey-colored wood were left to

provide a vintage feel. Screws gave the space an industrial vibe and silver “plus” signs were repeated on sconces, a blanket and a tray. “It was a graphic I liked,” says Dupre, who mapped her inspiration on mood boards. Her first purchases were eco-friendy wallpaper from Eskayel and slender sconces from Schoolhouse Electric and Supply Company. “I liked the metal and industrial look of [the sconce],” Dupre says. “[They have] vintage style with modern sensibility.” Dupre experimented to find the look she wanted. She tried several pendant fixtures before settling on a cage fixture from West Elm. “It was frustrating and hard and I almost gave up,” she says. “But it was also a fun exercise. We made it work. Someone always had a great idea.” As for the future of Ann, the Mayers say their busy family life as parents of teenagers has postponed any immediate getaways. “Our great American road trip may have to wait a few more years,” Dupre says. “Until then, I’m open to Ann having a day job. She could be used as a prop for a photo shoot or rented for a film set. A pop-up shop would also be a great use of her mobility and charm.”

ABOVE: A table with crisp white banquette seating occupies one end of the camper. The table can be lowered and topped with banquette cushions to create a bed that sleeps two. Cage pendant fixture from West Elm. A stool from Fab.com doubles as an ice bucket. The table came from a boating supply company and the industrial sconces are from www. schoolhouseelectric.com. Vintage Airstream postcards, a gift from Josh’s cousin, were framed as art. User-friendly, cut-to-fit roller shades from IKEA provide privacy. LEFT: Dupre used laminate from Arper for the kitchen counters. Several areas behind and above the counters are painted with chalkboard paint.

ARTIST’S

LIFE SHELLEY HESSE’S ART HANGS IN COLLECTORS’ HOMES from New York to the Galapagos Islands and spurred her eponymous Anthropologie line. But the native New Orleanian never set out to be an artist. “It was completely unexpected,” she says. “One of those things you can’t predict in life.” Two years in Paris in her mid-20s exposed Hesse to the work of the masters. Though she studied journalism in college, she was driven to paint. “I had this overwhelming desire to express myself through lines and color rather than through words,” says Hesse, who is self-taught. “It took over my whole life.” Her career as an artist launched in an equally serendipitous fashion in 1999. Hesse was at a PJ’s Coffee shop when she saw a woman peering in her station wagon, where framed art sat waiting to be hung in her apartment. “I thought, ‘Oh Lord, she probably rear-ended me,’” Hesse says. The woman turned out to be a gallery owner. “She said, ‘I’d love to show your work,’” Hesse says. The show sold out and was followed by many others. Hesse eventually left the gallery and sold her work directly to clients and decorators.

Shelley Hesse says painting in her studio is “bliss.” PHOTO COURTESY SHELLEY HESSE

“Before I had my kids, I did a lot of traveling and did my best to get my art spread as far as possible,” she says. “I’ve always pushed myself to get out as far as I could go.” In 2010, her work caught the eye of Anthropologie’s staff, who visited her studio. “They asked me on the spot, ‘Would you like to have your own line?’” Hesse says. “I said, ‘Absolutely.’” Hesse recently launched her fifth collaboration with Anthropologie, a collection of fabrics, tableware, wallpaper and furniture adorned with her nature-inspired watercolors. She recently shifted her focus to large-scale works. She’s in her studio seven days a week painting the flowers, sea life, birds and shells that inspire her. “I am happiest painting 35 to 50 hours a week,” says Hesse, who donates a percentage of sales to nonprofits World Wildlife Fund, Gulf Restoration Network, Earthjustice and People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals, among others. “Some people say, ‘What are you working on?’ And I tell them 10 animals are waiting in line in my mind that I can’t wait to paint. I shine a light on the beauty of the natural world one animal at a time.”

Hesse’s watercolors adorn plates, furniture, wallpaper and more in her collection for Anthropologie. PHOTOS COURTESY ANTHROPOLOGIE

AMANDA McGLAUN BLOGGER AT W W W.THESTYLEBRIEF.ORG BY MISSY WILKINSON Tell us a little about yourself and your blog. I’m originally from Houston and graduated from Texas Christian University in 2014. (Go Frogs!) After graduation, I worked in the litigation department of a Houston law firm for a year and then took the leap to becoming a lawyer myself. I moved to New Orleans last August to pursue my [juris doctor] at Tulane Law School. Since moving here, I’ve completely fallen in love with this incomparable city. Clothes and fashion have always been my thing, but transitioning from what I wore to class to what I wore in the real world was quite a wakeup call. I started writing about the struggle I experienced as a young professional [at www.thestylebrief.org]. How would you describe your style? My closet is classic and timeless with a little edge. I also love vintage or vintage-inspired pieces because I love mixing old with new.

Next, I try to think of what look I’m going for. Usually that means deciding if I’m wearing black or color, minimal or statement jewelry, heels or… heels. I chose this vintage Neiman Marcus red dress because I wanted to wear a bright color. I spiced it up with statement jewelry and, of course, heels. What advice would you give people about dressing for galas? Have fun — it’s not every day that you get to dress up! Wear something that makes you feel good, something you find beautiful. If you feel good, you look good. Nothing looks better than confidence. How do you show your personality when dressing for formal occasions? I look for something distinctive about the dress — a unique shape, a complimentary color, a catchy embellishment or detail. My favorite thing to do before a cocktail party or black-tie event is to raid my grandmother’s closet for a touch of something vintage and spunky.
