December 10, 2024 – New York City, Lush Decor and Chuks Collins hosted an exclusive dinner to celebrate their home collaboration, set to launch in Spring 2025 through Amazon Luxury Stores and Lush Decor’s channels. Held at Meduza Mediterrania in the intimate Mezzanine room, the evening marked the beginning of a two-year collaboration between the celebrated designer and the direct to consumer home décor leader, promising to redefine the intersection of fashion and home design.
The event brought together luminaries from the worlds of fashion, design, arts, and culture for a night of inspiration, elegance, and connection. The Mezzanine room was transformed into a space of natural artistry, with tables beautifully adorned with arrangements of mushrooms—a meaningful nod to Chuks Collins’ upcoming fashion collection, Mycelium Whispers. The collection draws deeply from Collins’ personal journey of recovery after his health scare, during which he found strength and healing through the resilience of mushrooms. Guests were treated to signature cocktails infused with mushroom powder, tying every detail of the evening to the collection’s central themes of growth, resilience, and interconnectedness.
Among the notable attendees were Lush Decor’s Founder Julia Jing Zhu, CEO Paola Peretti was iconic designer Nicole Miller, Collins’ designer mentor and host for the evening, who joined other industry leaders in celebrating this groundbreaking collaboration. Other notable guests include head designer of Transocean Liora Manne, stylist Solange Franklin, model Jason Felton, socialite Bershan Shaw and so much more.
Guests were dressed in looks from Chuks Collins' fall collection, adding to the stylish atmosphere of the evening. Among them, Nicole Miller stood out, effortlessly showcasing the brand’s Angelina dress, available online.
Guests were given a closer look into the collection’s creative journey through fabric swatches and prints thoughtfully displayed on the tables. Providing a visual preview of the designs, guests were shown how the collection reimagines the concept of home with bold textures, vibrant colors, and innovative artistry.
The Chuks Collins x Lush Decor collaboration draws inspiration from Mycelium Whispers, celebrating the essence of "home"—as a personal sanctuary, a shared space on Earth, and a reflection of identity and purpose. Each piece in the collection transforms living spaces into elegant expressions of style, redefining the boundaries of interior design while celebrating thoughtful craftsmanship.
“At Lush Decor, our story has always been about more than textiles—it’s about living a ‘Life Inspired’ in homes that nurture big dreams and meaningful connections,” said Paola Peretti, CEO of Lush Decor. “From the moment we met Chuks Collins, we knew our shared values and aesthetics would spark something extraordinary. His talent for bridging cultures—seamlessly blending African and Western influences—while championing sustainability and empowerment perfectly complements our mission to inspire and uplift. This collaboration is a testament to the power of shared vision to transform spaces and lives.”
Chuks Collins, known for his innovative and culturally rich designs, brings his multidisciplinary artistry to the collaboration, creating a sophisticated blend of cutting-edge fashion and functional interior design. The result is a collection that embodies artistry, elegance, and purpose, offering a fresh perspective on what home design can be.
