"The latest book from Carolyne Roehm is a fulsome look at her 45 years in fashion, interior design, entertaining, floral design, and most recently--as artist. An incredible talent--a true polymath, Roehm has found the constant thread to it all in her love for color, nature, quality, and classicism." --LITTLEAUGRY. "Carolyne is multi talented, having created not just her famous tablescapes and interiors, but gardens, floral designs, linens, accessories, fragrances, books, paper, and beautiful couture.

I could not put this book down, and I am certain that I will implement her elegant work into my own spaces." -- Teresa Hatfield, Splendid Sass "A closer look at tastemaker and Charleston, South Carolina, resident Carolyne Roehm's love affair with fashion, which began with her work with Oscar de la Renta and led to the launch of her own line--and later to building her entertaining empire." --Garden&Gun |
عن المؤلف | Style icon and lifestyle maven Carolyne Roehm has been part of American design culture for over four decades, with a career spanning the fashion, gardening, entertaining, publishing and decorative arts worlds. Finding a mentor in Oscar de la Renta, Carolyne worked alongside the couture great for 10 years before launching her own fashion house in 1985. A discerning eye and passion for beauty lead her into the world of flowers, where her books are often referred to as the best in their field. Subsequent entertaining and interiors titles cemented her position as one of America's lifestyle experts. A former President of the Council of Fashion Designers of America, with appearances in both the Who's Who of Women in America and the International Best Dressed List Hall of Fame, honoured by Manolo Blahnik with a shoe in her name, in a fitting tribute design legend Bill Blass labelled Carolyne, The ultimate tastemaker. Now the author of twelve books, Roehm's mission is to teach others how to capture and create beauty in their lives, in both the everyday and out of the ordinary. She divides her time among her homes in Manhattan, Connecticut, and Charleston. |
