American Fashion Designers At Home

"When you're designing clothing, you really only have one point of focus, and that's the body. But home is fabrics and furniture and floors and natural light. If fashion is a planet, home is more like a universe."
—Betsey Johnson

American Fashion Designers at Home is an inspiring tour of the personal spaces of more than one hundred of the best-known names in American fashion. Teal curtains contrast with walnut-stained walls and a crystal-ship chandelier in the living room of Nanette Lepore's town house. In Nicole Miller's home, tiger-striped pillows of her own design add contrast to rooms anchored by Le Corbusier furniture and a Jean Prouvé red lacquer cabinet. Artwork by Jenny Holzer, Donald Judd, and Richard Serra mingles with Roman urns and vintage modern furniture by Frank Gehry, Fornasetti, and Jacques Adnet in the loft of Sully Bonnelly. Geometric shapes and primary colors accent the Piet Mondrian-inspired Williamsburg apartment of Angel Sanchez. While some of the designers' dwellings are extensions of their métier, such as the classic elegance of Carolina Herrera's 1850s town house, others display remarkable contrast: Lela Rose, known for her feminine dresses, lives in an industrial-chic loft—designed by alumni of Rem Koolhaas's Office for Metropolitan Architecture. The result is a book filled with smart, colorful surprises— a must-have bible of contemporary design for anyone looking to add style to their home.
