Book Review: Beyond Chic

EVER wonder how Fashion designers live??

I know, it's been a while since I've posted a book review but no other way to get back into it than to introduce an INCREDIBLE fashion-related book: The title is Beyond Chic by photographer Ivan Terestchenko.

The book basically gives you a private tour of the homes & interior designs of top fashion designers, and shows you what they hide "behind closed doors." Appropriate since I've transitioned from Decor to a Fashion blogger.  Some of the featured apartments include Chanel's at 31 rue Cambon & Giorgio Armani's chalet – incredible spaces that make for incredible reads and AMAZING inspiration!!


I loved getting an inside look into some of these spaces. And OMG! Check out Manolo Blahnik's vintage shoe collection!



Gallery wall anyone? How cool is this collection of portraits from YSL? And Christian Louboutin, I mean, you can't go wrong with Christian Louboutin.  I love the old-rustic glam in these spaces – such amazing inspiration!






There is so much more inspiration in this book – be sure to check it out if you're reconsidering changing up some spaces for the upcoming new year!! You can get the book here.
