Beyond Chic – October 22, 2013
by Ivan Terestchenko (Author)
Some of the
most important people in fashion—Chanel, Alaïa, 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 décor, 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 châlet 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.
Praise for
"Beyond Chic"
"Manolo
Blahnik's house is like a pair of his shoes: elegant, well-proportioned and far
more comfortable than it might appear. And it is appearances that are often at
stake in Mr. Terestchenko's 19 beautiful photo essays on the homes of designers
as varied as Azzedine Alaia, Vittorio Missoni, and Reed Krakoff." - Wall
Street Journal

personalities." -Veranda
