THE LUXURY LIFESTYLE SOURCE
High End Weekly™ is a Luxury Lifestyle Blog which was created in April 2011 by New York-based interior designer, Vyna St. Phard. The publication focuses on Art Deco, as well as decorative and fine arts. Its mission is to rejuvenate the public’s interest in art, furniture, fine jewelry, interior design, textile arts, ceramic art, and glassware. At the same time, HEW continues to promote the luxury lifestyle by highlighting the following topics: fashion, book reviews, travel, food & wine, and interviews with key figures in the world of art and design.
Each day, our readers, many of whom are from The United States, The United Kingdom, France, Germany, Canada, Belgium, Ukraine, Italy, Spain, Australia, and Asia, Russia, turn to us for the latest news on the luxury market. The blog attracts serious private collectors, affluent individuals whose backgrounds include art, finance, and design. Since April of 2011, we have had a noticeable increase in our readership, and a total of 1,000,109,700 + Page Views. Our team continues to stay committed to our audience by paying attention to their needs for the finest information that relates to our field of expertise. Our posts are always high-toned, and well researched. As a specialized publication, we are perfectly positioned to present the latest, and most talked about products and events. We welcome the challenge of staying on top of the art and design industries, as we continue our partnerships with Sotheby's Christie's, The Park Avenue Armory, Donghia, John Lyle Design, Marilyn White PR, Rubenstein, and others.
High End Weekly™’s agenda remains aggressive, as we aim to become the flagship Luxury Lifestyle Blog in New York City. What's next? Look for us to increase our subscribers by featuring exclusive interviews, and videos. We also look forward to a high visibility in the media, art and design scenes, as we are preparing to create our own Lifestyle Events. We are the result of a bold and exciting group of people who are working hard to forward our brand to the highest possible level. This is an exciting time, and we’re pleased to have you as our readers and partners, because together we can use our brands in order to benefit the lifestyle of our clients. In addition, High End Weekly™ is now accepting advertisements and sponsorships from luxury brands and private labels, now that they've partnered with Christie's, Sotheby's, Girard-Perregaux, Montblanc, and other luxury brands.
ABOUT US
Vyna St Phard is a New York-based interior designer who draws her inspiration from culture, fashion, art, travel and nature. Her aesthetic style is greatly influenced by the Art Deco style and the Bauhaus movement. Vyna studied at The Parsons School of Design in 2002, and founded her company in 2007, after working in the interior design field for five years. Her design philosophy lies in the belief that interiors should be more about liberty and harmony, because in the end, what counts the most is the individual person living inside their individual space. The way her clients interact and express their personalities inside the interiors, which were created with them in mind. Vyna founded High End Weekly™ in April 2011 because she wanted to build her own ladder, and not climb someone else’s. The blog is acutely focused on the luxury lifestyle market. Vyna is a member of the designer forum for the inaugural 1stDibs NYC20th Century Art + Design Fair, benefiting the Bard Graduate Institute. And a supporting IIDA Member.

High End Weekly™ coverage on Jack Lenor Larsen and Thomas Woltz’ award ceremony at The Metropolitan Club, New York, Wednesday, April 18, 2012.
Last night, The New York School of Interior Design honored textile pioneer Jack Lenor Larsen with a Lifetime Achievement Award and noted landscape designer Thomas Woltz with the school’s first Thomas N. Armstrong III Award in Landscape Design at its 2nd annual Spring Benefit, held at The Metropolitan Club, in New York. While receiving his award, Mr Larsen humorlessly pointed out how delighted he was to be in a room which made him looked younger. Lou Gropp, long-time editor of House Beautiful Magazine and former NYSID trustee, presented Jack Lenor Larsen with the Lifetime Achievement Award. In memory of his father, Whitney Armstrong honored landscape architect Thomas Woltz with the first Thomas N. Armstrong III Award in Landscape Design. In September 2012, the school will continue their celebration of Larsen's professional achievements with a major retrospective filling their 69th Street Gallery.

It gives me great pleasure to share this celebration with all of my old and new friends, our sponsors: Holly at Subarashi Kudamono for the delicious cocktails, Dolores Marianeschi for the Nieto wine, Erik and Cornelia for allowing me to use their beautiful, zen-like gallery. NTDTV for their great coverage, and last but not least, my better half, Michael. During High End Weekly’s first year, I have had so many stories and experiences to tell, so when I look back, there have been a few tears and laughs, a little of expert advice, and friendly conversations.
