Ms. Namita Nayyar:
You have created an interior design company, SDL Design, in the United States which collaborates with numerous Italian luxury brands, how has it been so far and what are your future plans for the company?
Ms. Sarah Duque Lovisoni:
The last year I lived in Milan, I started to work with a linen company as Director of Export. This was my beginning in the design industry. When I moved to the United States, I decided to start my own interior design company. I’m working right know on a large scale residential project. Thrilling! With each new project I continue to hone my skills and improve as a businesswoman.

It was a wonderful milestone dream come true to be directed by James Gray. The first time I arrived on set, I was super excited to work alongside Julia Roberts. She is one of my all-time favorite actresses. Her smile is absolutely unique. Julia was very kind, humble and professional. It was a honor to share that time with her.

What was it like to be on the cover of Playboy Italy? To work with such an iconic brand that instantly adds the oomph factor to your portfolio, would you like to share your experience?
Ms. Sarah Duque Lovisoni:
It was full-circle experience because the photographer was the same one who photographed my first shoot ever in Milan.
After 6 years, we met again and he proposed to me the Playboy opportunity. The director of the magazine at the time was looking for a model who represented a modern woman.
