Documentary filmmaker and professional photographer Sebastian Guinness is featured together with his wife, Peggy Stephaich. Their 1800s loft in SoHo is filled with Tibetan religious pieces, Indonesian textiles along with other exotica, together with a pillow embroidered with the Foxcroft, the prep school Peggy attended. Again, Guinness is definitely an heir of Irish brewery founder Arthur Guinness, and wife, Peggy, is really a Mellon, as with the Mellon Bank. How do i compete?
Aerin Lauder, who’s poised to consider over her grandmother’s cosmetics empire, comes with an apartment with leopard print chairs, a Jean-Michel Frank table, along with a chandelier which was once within the Paris house of designer Jeanne Lanvin.

De Ocampo states the juxtapositions from the variations and personalities result in the book interesting. "Nobody person might have held it alone."
Since she and her investment banker husband have moved from New You are able to to London, De Ocampo is thinking about a follow-up about British style-setters. I am just wishing when she progresses to "Vibrant Youthful Things" in L.A., I will be fabulous enough to become incorporated.
