i had the pleasure of styling a very special dinner in charlotte last weekend at ali nikrooz’s showroom, couture knots. ali partnered with the SoGood, an app featuring a highly edited collected of amazing local businesses, to host a dinner celebrating art and design. an enchanting cast of creative entrepreneurs gathered for a memorable evening of fantastic food, delicious cocktails, and shared stories of their fascination with design.
