Remembering Albert Hadley (1921 - 2012)

I'm sure you've all heard about the passing of legendary designer, Albert Hadley, at 91 last week. Lonny gave us an intimate look inside his Upper East Side apartment in their December 2010 issue showcasing his bold, timeless aesthetic which is just as relevant today as ever. The Interior Design Hall of Fame inductee's impressive list of clients includes Oscar & Annette de la Renta, Jackie O, and the Astor and Getty families. He was one of the greats...
