It is an instant important inspirational book…so fresh and frisky and new.<br />This week it is CHEAP CHIC…a surprisingly influential book for designers and even Hermes.<br />It&#39;s also a retro trip…into another world, fashion of the seventies, with ideas that still resonate.<br />The Vreeland is for devotees…the layouts are to read and ponder.<br />COMING UP: next week more new books…all very special and very different. stay tuned and let me know what you think.<br />cheers and be sure to stay in touch--DIANEDiane Dorrans Saekshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02259292681678952448[email protected]tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6543457325368639597.post-80026269148271196762015-11-04T11:30:40.312-08:002015-11-04T11:30:40.312-08:00Dear Diane,<br /><br />I await with anticipation your book lists for each year. A person could assemble an outstanding library by using your guide, both from this year&#39;s list and by looking up your previous selections. My own library is enriched by your recommendations, with books I treasure for reference and pleasure. I also purchase these from my favorite bookstores.<br />This year based on this post I am purchasing the Vreeland book -the Bazaar years. Excellent point on the graphic design -graphic designers today should really take note on these layouts.<br />I am looking forward to reading, and also to part III of your book recommendations.<br /><br />Warm regards,<br /><br />Philip<br /><br />Philip Bewleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02593795071070337798[email protected]tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6543457325368639597.post-3886830353830321472015-11-04T11:30:08.679-08:002015-11-04T11:30:08.679-08:00Dear Diane,<br /><br />I await with anticipation your book lists for each year.

Mr. Bilhuber&#39;s book will top my wish list this year. What a colour Mix Master! The second last image in your post is a demonstration of his consummate skill assembling rich colour and texture. There are lessons to be learned studying this room and figuring out how it works as some of the colour choices wouldn&#39;t have been, at first blush, that obvious. It&#39;s traditional yet very fresh. Thank you for brightening the start to my morning! <br />Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07462490326030396887[email protected]tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6543457325368639597.post-11499098439863717952015-11-02T19:00:27.292-08:002015-11-02T19:00:27.292-08:00Love your book lists.
