 Assouline presents VALENTINO: At the Emperor’s Table, a stunning visual and written account that enters the world of famed fashion designer Valentino Garavani, the emperor not only of fashion but also of l’art de vivre. As fashion editor and friend André Leon Talley writes in the introduction, “Valentino Garavani designs his luncheons and dinners, in all of his homes, the way he has created crescendos and allegros vivace throughout his forty-plus-year career as one of the greatest haute couture designers and high-fashion leaders in the world.” Beauty and entertaining have long been passions of Valentino. “I am in love with beauty,” he admits in the book’s opening. “I have always loved beautiful objects.” Though beyond the tangible objets d’art housed in each of his residences, Valentino’s excellence as a host is defined by the warmth and joy he creates for his guests.

 

TOM SCHEERER DECORATES

 Tom Scheerer Decorates Autor:
 Read,Mimi

Praise for Tom Scheerer Decorates:
"The time has come. . . for a book. Unlike some who shall not be named, Scheerer richly deserves one, and Tom Scheerer Decorates is a highly personal exploration of the vanishing art of great American design, as pioneered by Van Day Truex, Billy Baldwin and Albert Hadley. . . . [Tom Scheerer Decorates] will undoubtedly cement Scheerer's reputation as on of the true American greats."—New York Times
"In keeping with Scheerer's personal style, the book is unpretentious, straightforward, contains a smattering of his pet peeves and exhibits just a touch of dry humor. The reader learns about his background (which so clearly informs his aesthetic) and then is skillfully led by [Mimi] Read through a broad range of projects from Maine to Paris, with frequent stops down in the islands too."—Style Court
"Scheerer combines classic decorating with modernist touches which is how we all really live today. Get the extremely well-written book today!"—Architecture Design


 In a world that constantly celebrates bigger and better, Scheerer's particular brand of understated, under decorated design is like a refreshing Bahamian breeze. And Mimi Read has so perfectly captured his spirit and process. Like Scheerer's work, the book has an easy-going "vibrant optimism." You'll want to live in its pages."—Quintessence
"They say you shouldn't judge a book by it's cover, but in the case of Tom Scheerer Decorates, you absolutely should. When I lifted the jacket of the book, I was delighted to find this stunning cane pattern underneath. So chic! . . . The book itself is fantastic as well."—La Dolce Vita
In an age when houses exhibiting unchecked exuberance, high drama, or conspicuous luxury get all the attention, leading interior designer Tom Scheerer has cultivated a more restrained brand of chic, a look he modestly describes as “cheerful” and “no nonsense.” But it is so much more. In Manhattan apartments, Brooklyn brownstones, Bahamian seaside cottages, and Maine country houses, Scheerer creates rooms that are crisp, confident, classic, and unfailingly correct, but also visually enthralling. His sophistication is extreme, but it is accessible, relaxed, and a touch “underbaked,” as Scheerer says, because he thinks the smartest rooms are always a little underdecorated.
The magic is in the way Scheerer combines classic, old-fashioned decorating with modernist touches à la Albert Hadley and Billy Baldwin, but with a keener attention to natural materials, unpretentious vernacular crafts, and the prettiest color combinations this side of India. He cherishes the simplest, least manipulated fabrics—cottons, linens, dimities—and loves certain inexpensive accents as much as he does truly fine ones. All this adds up to fresh, relaxed interiors that look like no others. Exquisitely photographed, this is the long-awaited first book of Scheerer’s work, and it’s a must for all lovers of interior design.

FIFTH AVENUE STYLE

Fifth Avenue Style. A Designer's New York Apartment
Autor: Slatkin,Howard

Interior designer Howard Slatkin, co-founder of the iconic lifestyle brand Slatkin & Co., is renowned for combining a keen appreciation of beauty, luxury, and superb workmanship with practical know-how. Now, in this sumptuously illustrated book, he opens the doors of his legendary Fifth Avenue apartment and invites you to accompany him on an intimate tour, not just of the main rooms, but of the service areas, closets, dressing room, and all the other intimate areas rarely seen. Along the way he shares his practical—and often ingenious—methods for creating uniquely personal rooms, shows you how to make them comfortable and functional as well as beautiful, and reveals his secrets to entertaining with ease and flair.


Photographer Tria Giovan’s exceptional photography reveals how Howard Slatkin’s apartment—and any home—can achieve a level of sophisticated calm through careful lighting and floor planning, clever arrangement of furniture, and decorative display of personal collections of family photographs and objects. Drawing upon twenty-five years as a leading designer of fabled residences around the world, Howard Slatkin shows how rooms should flow naturally, how to create an intimate feeling, how to find imaginative solutions for turning awkward spaces and limitations into assets, and how to make one’s décor deeply personal. In Howard Slatkin’s hands, a simple length of rope is transformed into a decorative molding, a claustrophobic passageway becomes home to a collection of blue and white porcelains, a kitchen evolves into a room fit for a St. Petersburg palace, and a living room turns into an exotic aviary of multihued birds. Using decorative finishes, tile, and salvaged architectural elements, Slatkin has created a memorable home that is the perfect backdrop for Fifth Avenue living.

ELEGANCE ENTERTAINING

 Elegant Entertaining: Seasonal Recipes from the American Ambassador's Residence in Paris
 Walker Stapleton,Dorothy

In Paris’s exclusive Faubourg Saint Honoré, not far from the Elysée Palace, the magnificent residence of the American ambassador to France is the setting for the capital’s most elegant Franco-American events. Built in the mid-19th century by the Baroness de Pontalba of New Orleans, whose extraordinary life reads like a novel, the mansion was later bought and embellished by Baron Edmond de Rothschild. It was acquired by the US government in 1948 and, as the ambassador’s residence, hosts receptions, concerts, dinners, garden parties and national holiday celebrations such as Thanksgiving and an annual Fourth of July garden party. Among its guests have been US presidents, foreign dignitaries, French friends of America and some lucky Americans in Paris.

Those of us who’ve never received one of the ambassador’s engraved invitations can now pay a virtual visit, thanks to Dorothy Walker Stapleton’s sumptuous Elegant Entertaining: Seasonal Recipes from the American Ambassador’s Residence in Paris. Part coffee-table book, part cookbook, the volume is a joint effort by Stapleton, whose husband Craig was ambassador to France from 2005 to 2009, and Philippe Excoffier, executive chef at the residence since 2000.

The book is organized around seasonal events, and while Excoffier enjoys providing his own Gallic take on such American classics as barbecue and brownies at the Fourth of July party, here he offers grander fare: gazpacho and crab millefeuille, grilled tuna with broccoli mousseline, medallion of lamb stuffed with chanterelles and truffles, iced cognac soufflé with wild strawberries. Some dishes, like the salmon with champagne sauce, in which overlapping slices of finely sliced, blanched zucchini are layered over an entire salmon to mimic fish scales, are better suited to Excoffier’s kitchen with its team of 12, but many others, including a creamy pumpkin soup and a caramelized pineapple dessert, are surprisingly simple to prepare and guaranteed to wow dinner guests.
The book’s introductory text describes the history, architecture, renovation and decoration of the residence, and gives a fascinating glimpse into the day-to-day kitchen routine of an establishment where several events may be held in a single day, and where the number of guests can change significantly at the last minute. And Francis Hammond’s gorgeous photographs of the mansion, its gardens, and its sumptuous tables, which take up most of the book, are a feast in themselves. Part of the book's proceeds go to FXB International, an organization that fights poverty and AIDS and provides support to the world's orphans.

THE DECORATING OF HOUSES

THE DECORATING  OF HOUSES
Written by Edith Wharton and Ogden Codman Jr., Introduction by Richard Guy Wilson

Edith Wharton's The Decoration of Houses is an invaluable reference, one of the classic works on interior decoration, and a testament to the enduring style of one of America's greatest writers. Written in collaboration with celebrated American architect Ogden Codman, Jr., Wharton's first book is a comprehensive look at the history and character of turn-of-the-century interior design, moving from historical traditions to the distinctive styles of contemporary taste. Published in association with the Mount Press, this beautiful hardcover facsimile is carefully reproduced from the first edition published in 1897 and includes all 56 original plates-illustrating furniture, moldings, and interior styles of the 19th-century-and features décollage edges as well as a new introduction from renowned scholar Richard Guy Wilson. The Mount is a magnificent estate Edith Wharton designed and built in 1902 as a writer's retreat in the beautiful Berkshire Hills of western Massachusetts

LA NOCHE DE LAS MIL Y UNA MESAS

 

 

LAS NOCHE DE LAS MIL Y UNA MESAS

Fundacion Anas

 

Desde hace años la Fundación ANAR organiza una cena cuyos fondos destina al Teléfono ANAR de Ayuda a Niños y Adolescentes. En enero de 2011, Pascua Ortega, amigo y decorador de gran prestigio, me dijo: ¿Por qué no hacemos algo diferente? Se me ocurre que cada mesa monte su centro de flores. Como lo haría un anfitrión en su casa. La idea tuvo una gran acogida. Según se acercaba la fecha, empezamos a recibir llamadas. Querían llevar sus platos, cristalerías, por qué no, objetos de sus casas ¿Hasta algunos hablaban de sillas! Empezamos a ser conscientes de que iba a ser algo muy especial. Había mesas decoradas por los propios anfitriones. Otras, por un decorador amigo. Y todos, de forma desinteresada para ayudar a los niños de ANAR. Llegó el día y la Quinta de Jarama nos dio todo su apoyo. Según iban llegando los seis cientos invitados, recorrían con asombro y admiración todas las mesas como si se tratara de obras de arte. ¡Fue una noche mágica! Este año 2012 hemos organizado de nuevo la cena de LLaass MMill yy UUnnaa MMeessaass.. El nivel de creatividad y buen gusto nos han vuelto a sorprender a todos.
