Accompanied by insightful texts from the design world's authoritative voices, this inspiring and utterly enchanting tome will appeal to readers fascinated by fashion, social history, gardens, interior design, and Italian style.<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br><b>Hamish Bowles</b> is an author, fashion collector and historian, and the international editor at large at <i>Vogue</i>. <b>Guido Taroni</b> is a Milan-based photographer of still life, fashion, and interiors.
