Recently I was waiting for a meeting for one of my clients, and while hanging out in their studio, saw this book Inspired Styles. It’s published by Assouline, and was a joint effort by Kravet and Lee Jofa Fabrics. I’d seen the cover before, but never had a chance to look inside- but once I did- whoa- It totally blew me away. Now, who doesn’t love a mood board right? Well, they’ve sort of taken the moodboard concept but arranged it into these beautiful groupings. Basically the book is a collection of images by 17 popular interior designers, like Kelly Wearstler, Thomas O’Brien, Candice Olsen, Barbara Barry, just to name a few (I think everyone involved in the book has done a collection for one of the companies associated). Anyhoo- mixed in through the pages, they have these fabric/color/mood arrangements that correspond with each designer. These arrangements are soooo beautiful- here are a few:
Based off the credits in the book, looks like they were styled by Philip Shubin and Jeffrey Miller, and photographed by Barbel Miebach. They truly have “inspired” styling and actually are my favorite parts of the entire book- however the rest of the interiors shown are gorgeous and sophisticated. Anyway- it’s a great visual treat- But don’t just take my word for it… you can actually check out a big interactive preview (you can flip through the pages) of it online here! I’d say it’s a definite must for your library.
