TRINA TURK

Bold prints and vivid colors drive this Los Angeles fashion designer—and her label that’s celebrating its 20th anniversary.

PERSONAL STYLE “Graphic and simple, with an occasional vintage ethnic garment and strong jewelry.” I’M INSPIRED BY “Observing the world around me. All you have to do is open your eyes and take a look.” WORDS I LIVE BY “Don’t take yourself too seriously.” READING “Tropicana Nights: The Life and Times of the Legendary Cuban Nightclub by Rosa Lowinger and Ofelia Fox.” OBSESSION “I love Instagram (@trinaturk) and use it as a photo diary of moments, inspiration, places, and events.” PERFECT MEAL “Something grilled by the water.” ENTERTAINING TIP “Make it fun. Invent a reason for a party, even if it’s simply ‘We’re celebrating September.’” DECORATING ADVICE “Don’t be afraid of a little color (left).” HIDDEN TALENT “Pie making. The fun part is creating a decorative crust.” FAVORITE ESCAPE “My Palm Springs home with my husband, Jonathan. A quick drive, and we can exhale after a busy week in the design studio.” Q
