If you're looking to catch a rising interior design star, head to the New York Design Center on November 19.

Interior Design Hall of Famer Jamie Drake will host Rising Stars of Interior Design, a panel discussion focused on Kristen McGinnis, Peter Lentz, and Brad Ford. The three up-and-comers are Drake's picks for the second edition of this annual event.

Hosted by furniture manufacturers Dennis Miller Associates and Tucker Robbins and sponsored by the International Furnishings and Design Association (IFDA), the event will kick-off with cocktails at 5:30 p.m. at Miller's showroom in suite 1510, with the program beginning at 6:15 p.m. in Robbin's showroom down the hall in suite 1516. Attendees will hear the three designers discuss their inspirations, passions, clients, and marketing, as well as Jamie Drake dishing on his latest moves.

"The interior design industry is luck to have these 'Rising Stars' sparkling in our galaxy," says Drake. "Although stylistically they differ, each has the gift of magic, a combination of design genius matched with marketing savvy."

Those who wish to attend should contact IFDA's New York chapter office. Tickets are $15 for IFDA members, $15 for non-members.

The New York Design Center is located at 200 Lexington Avenue.
