Corbin native, a New York-based designer, is still in style
August 1, 2008
Last year we told you about Corbin native Michael Bargo who was featured in Domino magazine as an up and coming interior designer.
Well apparently the New York-based Bargo, a former assistant to designer Thomas O’Brien, is still dazzling others with his style. The 25-year-old who owns his own design business garnered a mention in Thursday’s New York Times in a feature by Elaine Louie about shopping for a first apartment. In search of the right decor, Bargo’s stops included an Ikea in Red Hook Brooklyn and Manhattan’s Bangally African Expo for tribal stools and textiles.
That's a painting of Lenin hanging in Michael Bargo's stylish bedroom as it appeared in Domino magazine in April 2007. Bargo, a Corbin native, was also featured in a New York Times article on July 31. Photo by Douglas Friedman.

While I grew up in small-town Kentucky I’ve always been fascinated with the cosmopolitan world of high fashion. On the other hand, I love a bargain and the thrill of shopping for just the right piece.
I have a degree in English from the University of Kentucky, and since 2002 I’ve written a column for the Lexington Herald-Leader about shopping, beauty and fashion. During that time I’ve interviewed everyone from designers to boutique owners about trends and style. And I’m still forever searching for the next big sale.

Love your blog. However, that portrait is of Vladimir Ilyich Ulyanov–Lenin, not Stalin. Stalin’s design elements are a lot coarser, his brush cut would never have worked in that room.
