Dorothy Draper, born November 22, 1889 and died on March 11, 1969, was an American interior decorator. Stylistically anti-minimalist, She inspired a generation of decorators.
She carried out spectacular decorating projects for the Carlyle Hotel in New York, the Metropolitan Museum of Art, the Fairmont and Mark Hopkins hotels in San Francisco, the Drake restaurant in Chicago, the Mayflower in Washington DC, and the Greenbrier .
She also realized airplane interiors for Conair and TWA as well as automobiles for Packard and packaging for branded cosmetic products.
Her exuberant style is described as "American Baroque", it moves away from the dark colors of the Victorian era and chooses bright and fresh colors, audacious prints with strong contrasts and unexpected proportions.
In 2006, the Museum of the City of New York pays tribute to her with a dedicated exhibition.
