Stylish workspace is a job in progress



NEW YORK (AP) -- Fashion designers don't sit at cookie-cutter cubicles. A recent issue of Domino magazine offered a glimpse into the creative workspaces of Coach president and executive creative director Reed Krakoff, Banana Republic executive vice president of design Deborah Lloyd, Delia's creative director Ashley Sargent.
Krakoff's modern office is always a work in progress. "I'm always looking for things to stimulate my eye. There's something really frozen about a still-life room. If I live with something for more than three months and get tired of it, I move it someplace else. The whole office gets redecorated every six to eight months," he tells Domino.
A large wood parsons table is the centerpiece of Lloyd's office. She says she uses it to bring her team together to collaborate on collections.
Sargent's space is filled with natural light from big windows, and she also has a big bulletin board to keep inspiring images in sight. "Nothing ever comes down; I'm always layering one image over another," Sargent says.
