photography by anjali pinto For more than a decade, Kelly Golden has been putting her polished touch on the North Shore's stylish set with Neapolitan Collection (715 Elm St., Winnetka, 847-441-7784; neapolitanonline.com), which regularly welcomes acclaimed designers like Wes Gordon, Derek Lam, Lela Rose, Gilles Mendel, and The Row's Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen. As Golden recently prepared for Neapolitan's host of spring trunk shows, she visited River North see-and-be-seen spot Sunda with dear friend and interior designer Cindy Bardes Galvin of Maze Home (735 Elm St., Winnetka, 847-441-1115; mazehome.com) for inspired cuisine and conversation. How often do you visit Sunda? Kelly Golden: The first time we were here they had just opened, and we had a private party upstairs for Derek Lam, so that inspired my outfit [today]. I have great memo- ries here. [Spicy edamame, wok-fried shishito peppers, and seared tuna salad with seaweed and sesame-crusted ahi tuna are served] KG: I really love the spicy edamame. Edamame you can get anywhere; I haven't seen spicy [everywhere]. How are the shishito peppers? Cindy Bardes Galvin: Unbelievable—really succulent, great f lavor, and when they grill them, it brings out the sweet taste. This is such a nice way to eat. It's never heavy; every- thing's fresh. [Gluten-free garden roll with soy paper, basil, mango, mizuna, asparagus, cucumber, and ponzu; skirt steak with shrimp; and hibiscus lemonade are served] Kelly, you have a busy lineup of trunk shows this spring. What are you looking forward to this season? KG: I'm so excited about the whole '70s trend that started last season, so I'm loving that whole feel—laid-back, bohe- mian f lared pants... We've had the skinny silhouette for so long, and it's nice to change it up. Everything is reinvented somehow, but this season seems like everyone caught on, and suede is the fabric choice—suede in so many different colors and textures. CBG: I just came back from the High Point show in October, and it's fun to spot trends and see what is coming back. A lot of times [furniture styles do] overlap with fashion. Kelly and I have this ongoing conversation about what we're seeing. I always say design goes in 30-year DininG in Style WHat: A ladies' lunch between friends and design enthusiasts. WHen: Early afternoon on a sunny Friday. WHere: Sunda, 110 W.
