Who says that furnishing fabrics have to be used on sofas, or traditional wallpaper on walls?
The apartments of twenty international designers - all wonderfully personal and idiosyncratic - allow us a tantalizing look beyond the catwalk and into the private world of the top fashion designers of today. Vissza
