In an exclusive interview, Kelly Hoppen, who styled the homes of Madonna, Gwyneth Paltrow and the Beckhams, gives us an insight on how she designs a space using her first stint in Kuala Lumpur, for KSK Land's YOO8 Residence Tower B at 8 Conlay, as a reference point.
1. Tell us about yourself, Kelly.

As a child, my parents would take me to their friends’ homes for social visits. I would meet with people like artists, poets and chefs. The way they used their homes to communicate their passions struck a chord with me. I started developing an interest in visiting apartment showrooms, imagining and dreaming of how people lived their lives behind four walls and a door. Today, four decades after I began my business, I still bounce out of bed every day wanting to design.
2. What drew you to design for YOO and work with John Hitchcox from YOO?
