Fashionable Selby x
There’s a new book out by the Photographer Todd Selby – Fashionable Selby – opening the door to the sort of voyeurism that really tickles my fancy: Designers at work..
Dries Van Noten quietly arranging beautiful flowers.
A highly organised bohemian Isabel Marant.
A Marant mood board with a lust-worthy bracelet.
Olivier Rousteing, Creative Director of Balmain at work on a stunning parquet floor.
Inspiration from every corner: Carla Sozzani, Italian gallerist and founder of Galleria Carla Sozzani and the creator of 10 Corso Como in Milan.
Surrounded by colour: Pascale Mussard, Artistic Director of Hermes Petit H.
It’s thinking you have that little bit of knowledge to know what they’re really like and what makes them tick..the reality behind the curtain. Even though you know in your mind, you’re still seeing what they want you to see….but it helps that each profile is accompanied by Selby’s watercolour portraits and illustrated questionnaires, revealing answers to personal questions.
It sounds delicious non?

Beautiful ❤
It’s just another world.. xxx
I will be looking for this book! Every photo you offered shows and extraordinary amount of light. Bright working spaces — something to keep in mind when designing my work space. XO
I am very jealous of the walls of shelving..and I always want to ogle other peoples inspiration boards – Carla Sozzani’s looks particularly fine! xxx
I covet Dries Van Noten’s life. Have you seen his country house and gorgeous garden outside Antwerp? I will have to settle for having him in my life in the form of embroideries and prints. xo
No!!!! I am searching for it NOW! xxx
Oui, it sounds delicious ! Watching designers in their own studio is a fantastic way of celebrating their creative process and their inspirations ! xxxxx
It makes them so much more human..and I suppose relatable? xxx
It sounds good, love to see those creators in their element, make us to know them a little bit more.
A creative workspace must be somewhere you can really relax in to get those thoughts moving – so I completely agree – they are fascinating to see! xxx
I just read a review about the new book and added it to my Amazon list!! This is easily going to be one of my new favorite art books~!
I think it was the addition of the q&a with illustrations that underlined this book for me..makes it more than just an interior design book, more than a photography book..there’s something personal as well… xxx
Such beautiful images. And I would quite like Isabel Marant to come over and organise my wardrobe (actually, make that my entire apartment) please!
Isn’t she wonderful?? I was surprised to see how organised she was..but I probably shouldn’t be! xxx
Majorly excited! Just ordered!
