Part of our list of New York's Top 10 Event Designers.
Company: Antony Todd Inc.
Why He's Here: Todd’s elegant look carries with it a level of cachet— and his background as a set designer is evident in his dramatic and classy designs.
What He Does: Corporate clients make up a sizeable chunk of Todd’s business. And his résumé also includes events like the after-party for Glamour magazine’s Women of the Year awards, where he created an exotic lounge setting rich with draped fabrics and canopied seating areas. He fashioned a decadent La Dolce Vita-inspired design for the New York Academy of Art’s Tribeca Ball, which featured voluminous sheer pink draping of the entire dining area within Gotham Hall—creating a sumptuous setting for tables that had rich adornments like towering black plumes. Other big events Todd designed include a dinner to celebrate the Emilio Pucci store opening, the American Cancer Society’s Dream Ball, and the Robert Cavalli-sponsored “Wild” exhibition opening at the Costume Institute.
Background: After pursuing a career in stage design, Todd infiltrated the event industry, founding his company in 1995.
Age: 42
His Style, His Words: “My style is a very classic take on the modern without being too overbearing or severe.”
His Style, Our Words: Chic and sophisticated, with a combination of traditional floral touches presented with a modern aesthetic.
