WHO: Albert Hadley


Among the few designers who qualify as legends, Albert Hadley stands apart for creating interiors that are chic and timeless, elegant and livable. He began his career at McMillen Inc., and went on to form the legendary partnership of Parish-Hadley before starting his own firm, Albert Hadley, Incorporated. His clients included Vice President and Mrs. Albert Gore, Diane Sawyer and Mide Nichols, and Mrs. Vincent Astor.

Interior Design magazine described Albert Hadley as “defined by his keen sense of architectural detail and proportion, his carefully edited decorative schemes, sustained sense of tradition, combined with an inexhaustible curiosity for the new.”
