  5. Tish Weinstock
Welcome back to the Ceraudo Salon. This time, we’re delighted to welcome Tish Weinstock, and take a tour around her beautiful home. Tish is a writer, editor and creative consultant working across beauty, fashion and culture. Formerly Beauty Editor at British Vogue, she lives in West London with her fiancé, fashion stylist Tom Guinness, and their two-year-old son, Reuben. Home to Tish means friends and family; a place of comfort and security, and the backdrop to her family’s daily life. Colour and emotion play an integral part – her house is filled with contrasting colours and patterns catering to every type of mood, from the calming effect of the duck egg blue in her bedroom, to the rich and relaxed terracotta in the basement designed for late nights. Tish welcomes us into her eclectic home filled with sourced art, antiques and other collected memorabilia, to talk about her current inspirations and creative muses.

How far do your personal life and professional life coincide with one another? How do you ‘live your art’?

They totally overlap. A skincare obsessive, I’m constantly trying out new products and treatments. In fact, beauty pervades everything I do; my writing, my morning / evening routines, the way I engage with my friends giving them recommendations, the way I take care of myself mentally and physically, and at night putting on make-up to go out.

Sonia Delaunay said: ‘Colour is the skin of the world?’
What colours are you drawn to and what do they express in your world?

Colours can affect emotions and mood. We had such fun doing up our house. We chose a duck egg blue for our bedroom and it’s very cool and calming, but a rich terracotta for the basement which is perfect for a late night setting. I love the contrast of the walls with the touches of leopard print and again with the faded hues of our 17th century verdure tapestry. In spring time I’m drawn to pastel hues; I have a collection of peach, cerulean, and pink 1930s silk slips, whereas in autumn and winter I wear darker colours – a lot of black and red.

What does ‘home’ mean to you?

Home to me means friends and family. It’s a place of comfort and security, and the backdrop to our daily life. We constantly have loved ones dropping in. It’s a place of work, but also of sanctuary. It’s where we have our family meals and I keep all my treasures big and small.

Can you recall any childhood influences that have shaped your aesthetic sensibility?

Johnny Pigozzi’s house in the south of France which he collaborated with Ettore Sottsass on was an endless source of inspiration. I’ve always been inspired by the V & A, all the amazing textiles and sculptures there, and the Wallace collection and Sir John Soane’s museum, which I visited a lot as a child.

Are there objects and designs in your everyday life that inspire you? This could be anything from particular buildings to tiles on the Tube, the shape of your kettle, the typography on a sign, etc.

I follow a lot of interiors accounts on Instagram such as the Peanut Vendor and Breton Bruon which constantly inspire me with their curation of beautiful everyday design objects.

Sonia’s husband Robert Delaunay once called her a ‘sculpture of living forms’ because she wore clothes that expressed her art. How far do fashion and art or design overlap for you?

They overlap all the time; so many designers and brands reference great artists, from Kim Jones at Dior to Jonathan Anderson at Loewe. And then with vintage clothes - I collect a lot of 20s and 30s pieces as well as 90s / Y2K Galliano and Tom Ford, which I sort of see as relics of bygone eras. It’s very much in the same way someone might collect art or beautiful objects.

How can art and design be more inclusive?

By having diverse voices in positions of power and at every level of business really. It’s not just about representation, we need people in positions of power to enact change.

What would be the ideal space, building or room to express you and your work?

John Richardson’s apartment in New York. It represents everything I love about art and design. Or Cy Twombly’s house in Rome.

We’ve loved speaking to Tish and hope you’ve enjoyed learning more about her creative inspiration and process as much as we have.
