Patricia Herrera Lansing’s New York Apartment

Nothing better than when we get to peak in into the lifestyles of stylish people.  It proves once more than a great sense of fashion doesn’t stand too far from a good sense of living.  Leave it to the Herrera family to show us that.  In the December/January issue of Harper’s Bazaar, you can get a good sneak peek into Patricia Herrera Lansing’s New York apartment.  It’s beautiful and cozy as equally elegant. But that shouldn’t take anyone by surprise, Patricia’s parents are the legendary fashion designer Carolina Herrera and Vanity Fair contributing editor Reinaldo Herrera.

The apartment was Patricia’s husband bachelor pad.  They gutted it and reworked it doing the spaces by color, according to Patricia.  ” I did it by color-a blue room and a green room and so on”  The result is a family friendly home with lots of good art.  “I think you have to have a place where your children can run around freely,” she says, and I agree.
