Beyond Chic: Great Fashion Designers at Home
By Ivan Terestchenko
Some of the most important people in fashion?Chanel, Ala?a, Yves Saint Laurent, Pucci, Kenzo, and Missoni?are known for their public image and their iconic designs. But what kind of world have they cultivated behind closed doors? From France to Italy, from England to Morocco, come along on a private visit to the remarkable homes of couturiers, stylists, muses, and fashion personalities. Photographer Ivan Terestchenko shows the d?cor, works of art, and the personal collections of these legendary designers. Some interiors, such as Chanel?s apartment at 31 rue Cambon, are mythic, while others like those of Giorgio Armani?s ch?let or Vanessa Seward, Azzaro?s head designer, are completely unconventional. From minimal (Nicole Farhi) to exotic (Franca Sozanni), to a deceptively simple French?apartment (Loulou de La Falaise), this book explores the spaces and places created by some of fashion?s biggest names.

A Passion for Color
By Ronit Eisenbach and Caterina Frisone
This catalogue accompanied an exhibition by the same name at Museo di Palazzo, Venezia in 2011.

She expertly employs texture, pattern & color to create designs that hover between reference & abstraction.?Her friends and collaborators included Charles?& Ray Eames, Eero Saarinen, Frank Lloyd Wright, Minoru Yamasaki, & Buckminster Fuller.
The catalogue provides fascinating biographical information about this iconic woman & richly illustrates her mid-century modern textile designs.
