Lenny Kravitz: Rock Star Designer

Oh, Lenny Kravitz, you are more than a Hollywood triple threat…musician, actor, interior designer, and fashion designer…not to mention heart throb.  Lenny began his New York City-based interior design company in 2003, but now he wants to expand Kravitz Design into an empire including furniture, bedding and clothing lines.  “The plan is to make it a lifestyle brand, (that is) my dream for this company. In the same way you would see Ralph Lauren or Giorgio Armani.”  Lenny, I’ll be inviting you into my home…
