Here, in the first book to cover the entire scope of Sui's twenty-year career, fans get rare access to the designer's creative process. This richly visual retrospective celebrates her influence, from her first show that snared the support of supermodels Naomi Campbell, Linda Evangelista, Christy Turlington, and Kate Moss to the role she's played in making the babydoll dress one of fashion's most iconic silhouettes.

Be Inspired with Hue and Kelly Wearstler

Hue is the followup book to "Modern Glamour" and "Domicilium Decoratus" by Designer Kelly Wearstler. It is an incredibly dazzling coffee table book featuring stunning, full-color, full-page photography of the interior design creations that  Wearstler has done in her own home as well as for her clients.

Brilliant and eclectic, these scenes leave an unforgettable impression on the mind and senses, giving the reader a look at palate of colors that one can mix up in so many ways. A glimpse of diverse home decor with original modern flair, Hue is a union of beauty, practicality, and boldness.

The pages are dripping with color and Kelly's one-of-a-kind style. The book has has a Q&A in the front with the designer and then it's chapter by colors...but not just any colors...think Camellia, Wisteria & Vermillion and Jonquil Citrine &  Dahlia....very fresh and exciting. Experience the Colors of the rainbow in a new light with this book that every aspiring designer should have.

Charlie Harper

Now and then I find things that have nothing to do with Cathedral, but I love so much that I just have to bring it in the store! This month I found a book that Cathedral could not live without, it is Charley Harper-An Illustrated Life, by Todd Oldham. I found this book a couple years ago when it was first published but it was in a very large size and several dollars. Now it is reissued in a more practical coffee table size and a much better price of $49.95. For those of you who are modern enthusiasts you will love this book! The illustrations are from 1950-1975 and are amazing. You may need to purchase 2 of them so you can frame some of the pictures... Enjoy!
