Alejandra Alonso, photographed by Mariano Vivanco, embodies ethno chic in this Vogue Russia editorial. I absolutely adore the prominent use of African headwraps, which I wore myself a decade ago. Trend alert: African-influenced textiles and ethno chic design (a la DVF's home collection & fabrics by Iman) are making their way to a home/closet near you!

If you live in DC and want to model a chic headwrap this season, check out Africa Underground at the Smithsonian's National Museum of African Art on May 20th. Among the event's many activities is a headwrapping demo by Deniece Moudou.

Though primarily a self-taught decorator, Desiré studied at The Art Institute, where she honed a distinct aesthetic largely influenced by the Modern Glamour movement, the theme of her popular design blog, Sukio. Not only is she considered a "closet fashionista," discreetly stashing handbags and shoes whenever possible, but, as an MIT graduate, she’s also an undercover nerd. Fashion, nerdom, and several years as a Washingtonian have combined to shape her unique perspective on interior design.
