It’s a design empire that started with a dress. In 1995, a California girl with a skill for sewing and a playful, approachable aesthetic launched her own clothing line. Soon stores including Barney’s, Fred Segal and Saks Fifth Avenue were lining up to get the latest looks from Trina Turk on their racks. But the dress was just the beginning. From the earliest days of her career, Turk’s personal passions -- travel, architecture and the landscape of Los Angeles -- were expressed through her designs. In 2008 Turk opened her first residential boutique next to her flagship Palm Springs store, where her mod, graphic patterns and fearless use of color translated perfectly to furnishings and accessories. Her trademark style had found its way out of the closet and into every room in the house -- not to mention to patio. In 2009 she introduced an indoor-outdoor fabric line with venerable home furnishings manufacturer F. Schumacher.

Turk will sit down with California Home+Design Executive Editor Erin Feher for a frank, funny and insightful conversation about finding your style, building your brand and why California is still the land of risk-takers and tastemakers. Audience questions and participation are highly encouraged.
