Lina Maple at SARCA

Every Wednesday, I will guest blog at Sarca a new installation on the topic of how fashion, art & design are constantly drawing inspiration from one another. This segment will focus on the relationship between fashion, art & design, and the very personal environment they work together to create.

Working under and developing a friendship with Mark, principal and founder of Mark Cunningham Inc, has forever changed my personal style and style at home. Inducted this year into Elle Décor’s top 25 A-List and Architectural Digest’s AD 100, Mark is a tastemaker in the world of international design. To the circle of those who know him, he is a visual genius. Employees and clients regularly turn to him for advice on anything style related from what sofa to purchase, to what art to collect, to what to wear to a big event. What makes Mark standout from other designers is that he is able to take his impeccable taste and translate it to fit a number of different environments. The residences and hotels Mark designs are a reflection of the space’s history and the personalities inhabiting them. From a modern Manhattan penthouse, to a rustic Hudson Valley cottage, to a Texas ranch, each space Mark designs fits what it is supposed to be but never loses sight of the timeless quality that makes him who he is. Usually clad in John Varvatos or Jill Sander, Mark dresses himself the way he dresses homes, with clean lines and classic looks. Fashion and design need to work in conjunction in order to tell a story, so here are the versatile Sarca looks that work together with his designs to create the perfect, polished environment.
