EXCLUSIVE: Interior Designer Kelly Wearstler to Drop No-limits Newsletter

WEARSTLER UNCENSORED: “Nothing is off limits,” said Kelly Wearstler of her latest project. The Los Angeles-based interior designer told WWD that she’s launching Wearstlerworld, a Substack newsletter that aims to provide “irreverent and personal” notes on style and living.

The newsletter will publish each Wednesday and will ponder a roster of themes such as “Foot Fetish,” “Itty Bitty” and “Night Vision,” among others. Each theme will explore how design, fashion, travel, her own influences and ethos interconnect. “This new platform will feature a raw and unfiltered glimpse into my world, taking readers behind the scenes. The goal of each edition of Wearstlerworld will be to draw the red thread through all elements in a well-lived life to help my readers buck and bend trends,” she said.
