Joanna Gaines
Joanna Gaines co-hosted HGTV's "Fixer Upper" alongside her husband Chip Gaines from 2013 to 2018, a home renovation series based in Waco, Texas that became one of the most popular shows in HGTV's history and introduced Gaines's distinctive modern farmhouse design aesthetic to a massive national television audience. The show's popularity directly drove significant tourism to Waco specifically to visit the couple's retail complex, Magnolia Market at the Silos, transforming what had previously been a relatively low-profile Texas city into a significant home-design-tourism destination. Gaines's "modern farmhouse" style, characterized by shiplap wood paneling, neutral color palettes, and a blend of rustic and contemporary elements, became so widely replicated following the show's success that design media specifically credited "Fixer Upper" with driving a broader nationwide home design trend throughout the mid-to-late 2010s. Joanna Gaines's combination of "Fixer Upper's" massive television popularity and her modern farmhouse style's outsized influence on broader American home design trends has made her one of the most commercially significant interior designers of the 2010s.
VS
Sister Parish
Sister Parish, born Dorothy May Kinnicutt, launched her interior design career in 1933 during the Great Depression, reportedly starting the business specifically because her family needed additional income, and she went on to help define the classic American "English country house" decorating style for wealthy East Coast clientele. She was selected by Jacqueline Kennedy to redecorate the White House family quarters in 1961, giving Parish's traditional, comfortably layered decorating aesthetic significant national visibility during the Kennedy administration's high-profile early-1960s public image. Parish later partnered with designer Albert Hadley to form Parish-Hadley Associates in 1962, a partnership that became one of the most influential American interior design firms of the 20th century, training numerous designers who went on to significant careers of their own. Sister Parish's combination of her selection to redecorate the Kennedy White House and her influential Parish-Hadley partnership has made her one of the most historically significant figures in 20th-century American interior design.
