Meet the 2012 HC&G IDA Winners

The winners from our second annual Innovation in Design Awards.

Much Ado About Madoo

The madoo Conservancy in Sagaponack held its second annual garden fair and cocktail party, with HC&G as media sponsor. Themed “The Genius of England,” the event included shopping, garden lectures, cocktails, and silent and live auctions.

Deeds and Dont’s

What is it about the Hamptons that has made it such a bastion of experimental architecture? Perhaps being America’s playground somehow invites construction that tests the imagination.

Painted Patterns

As a young art student studying painting at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, Casey Dalene scored an internship at Marc Jacobs, and suddenly it hit her. In the fashion world, she realized, “somebody has to make all these fabrics.”

Landscape Pleasures

The Parrish Art Museum and media sponsor HC&G held a cocktail party in celebration of the 29th annual Landscape Pleasures symposium and garden tour.
