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."</i><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjOeCjsAzoji7DB9dVPKMLVB6Evw_R11rosCDuzFZASrubuX5X4r8i8s-poccFE6AqSb9pV8fTpV2-dJ2FmgbXzW0odpvLqxBGpj4RS7hyphenhyphenoaFkIrf2dB2y6GXOA9hlbfydnZhpC1asNv2TW/s1600/BeyondChic_071+(1).jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjOeCjsAzoji7DB9dVPKMLVB6Evw_R11rosCDuzFZASrubuX5X4r8i8s-poccFE6AqSb9pV8fTpV2-dJ2FmgbXzW0odpvLqxBGpj4RS7hyphenhyphenoaFkIrf2dB2y6GXOA9hlbfydnZhpC1asNv2TW/s1600/BeyondChic_071+(1).jpg" /></a></div><br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiH83Tq9rMn9i6hBmQ2am7Fbht2YgwjVwvXHS5PVV-xwZdxfvdrpbw_EJBeOlhOiueg2Yt4M2YaoYw5z2P5ZDV6YYkB2LxtdkL9c3fThQe8G_9dWHDWKNPJUtYjxUehSTD1YDlS7-uMJv6v/s1600/BeyondChic_244+(1).jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiH83Tq9rMn9i6hBmQ2am7Fbht2YgwjVwvXHS5PVV-xwZdxfvdrpbw_EJBeOlhOiueg2Yt4M2YaoYw5z2P5ZDV6YYkB2LxtdkL9c3fThQe8G_9dWHDWKNPJUtYjxUehSTD1YDlS7-uMJv6v/s1600/BeyondChic_244+(1).jpg" /></a></div><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: left;"><i>A warm thank you to <a href="http://www.vendomepress.com/"><b>Vendome Press </b></a>for the press release copy of this book.</i></div><div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">-------------</div> Beyond Chic: Great Fashion Designers at Home by Ivan Terestchenko Shape shifter.
