Description
Explore the powerful impact that female fashion designers have had on interior design, from Coco Chanel's radical luxury in the interwar years to Mary Quant's mid-century 'youthquake revolution'.
This richly illustrated book documents an array of interiors commissioned by approximately 30 important clothing creators who, it shows, were influential beyond the realm of fashion too: From Jeanne Paquin, who experimented with Belle Époque interiors in grand salons and private homes to Jeanne Lavin, who established a celebrated interiors department in the interwar period, and the Baroness de Rothschild whose interiors as well as garments garnered a global following. Through this extraordinary cast of women, Patricia Mears demonstrates how female designers regularly used interior decoration to enhance their brands and enrich their personal lives.
From luxe, professionally-crafted couture salons and apartments to modest, self-decorated ateliers and homes, the spaces showcased by this book express the passion these female fashion creators devoted to their magical interiors.
