World Market Center Las Vegas announced an addition to its panel of design experts taking part in the fourth annual trend discussion, Ahead of the Curve at Summer 2011 Las Vegas Market, Aug. 1-5.
Nathan Turner, star of Bravo TV’s “Million Dollar Decorators,” joins co-star Jeffrey Alan Marks and Anthony Baratta for the presentation, which will take place at 9 a.m. Pacific Time Aug. 3 in Building C, Suite C-352, as well as simulcast live on the web.
“Every year when we get together for Ahead of the Curve there are new trends to unveil,” said Susanna Salk, design author and TODAY show style contributor who has moderated the program since its inception in August 2007. “The designers who join us each year bring their own style and personality. We are beyond thrilled to add Nathan to the group, and look forward to seeing what his eclectic and discerning tastes will uncover.”
A fourth-generation Californian, Turner began his career by combining his passions for design, travel and food to create his eponymous shop. His store reflects the years of travel under his belt, and has become a faithful source for the country’s leading interior designers, as well as some of the most stylish individuals from coast to coast. In 2008, he branched out to launch his own collection of upholstered furniture for Elite Leather. A natural when it comes to identifying a good find, Turner will bring his keen eye to this year’s Summer Market, as he pinpoints next season’s trends.
William Diamond of Diamond and Baratta will regrettably not be able to attend this year’s panel due to unforeseen circumstances.
