But perhaps the most standout feature of the designer’s home is its artwork, arranged perfectly across the walls. Vesper’s boyfriend, a graphic designer, mocked up the entire living room digitally so they could play around with the different paintings and prints, many of which she hand-sourced from Stardust Print Shop in Buffalo, New York.
Despite its avoidance of a distinct theme, there is one motif evident in Vesper’s home: the moth. Vesper considers it an emblem of her brand. She collaborated with the pillow designer Maria Tilyard on an oversized cushion made of vintage velvets in the likeness of the humble creature, and a neon bat with moth-like wings hangs above her stacks of vintage textiles in her workroom.
Vesper’s love of fashion is equally obvious in her home: She proudly displays Mexican cowboy boots on her credenza, and a blazer on the wall. Just like with the curtains, the textiles seen in her interior are some of the exact same used in her collections. “Usually I’m stuck between deciding whether or not to use a textile for a jacket or, you know, another one-of-a-kind item, or [whether to] use it for the home,” she says. “So they kind of cycle in and out, but that’s a good thing because I always want the room to be new and exciting, especially right now when I’m in it all the time.” As for the peach walls? They were painted to match her hair, of course. “It’s the idea of not having any boundaries, as far as pattern, color, space.”
