MORE ABOUT OUR GUEST CURATOR

Betony Vernon is an American-born designer who lives and works in Milan and Paris. Her work has been featured in a number of international exhibitions from the Victoria and Albert Museum in London to the Triennale, Milan. She has designed for several brands, including Missoni, Gianfranco Ferré, and Fornasetti.

The turning point in Betony’s creative career came in 2002, when she launched her “Paradise Found – Fine Erotic Jewelry” collection. This line became her primary focus and the interface for what she describes as her “vision”: to dismantle the pleasure taboo.

With this in mind, in 2008 she co-produced and presented “Le Boudoir”, a series of seven didactic cameos for MTV Italy. Betony has recently completed her first book, “The Boudoir Bible – Sexual Common Sense and the Joy of Ceremony”, due for publication in 2012.
