ARQUITECTURA Y DISEÑO

Having moved around a lot as a child, Harding has always been interested in creating homes that evoke a sense of belonging. After designing several homes for herself, what began as a passion grew organically into a thriving career. Today Harding is known for her quintessentially British, reassuringly familiar interiors that mix traditional charm with rich atmosphere. A sense of meaning comes from deftly weaving together expertly sourced antiques and luxurious fabrics, married with craftsmanship that has a particular significance—for example, a supplier who works in a village near where a client grew up, or antiques from local dealers.  With a calming, nature-inspired palette, Harding’s residential projects embrace English country-house coziness and radiate a warmth that makes each place feel personal and well lived in, while her hospitality commissions are bold and spirited, often inspired by literary or historic characters. This first book delves into Harding’s design philosophy, which, at its heart, prioritizes human experience above all else.

Demarchelier was known for his ability to capture a subject’s beauty and charm in a natural way, often without ornate settings. His exquisite and timeless fashion portraits graced the pages of Vogue, Elle, Harper’s Bazaar, and Glamour, with ad campaigns for Dior, Louis Vuitton, YSL, Calvin Klein, Ralph Lauren, and have featured such high-profile subjects as Cindy Crawford, Christy Turlington, Linda Evangelista, Naomi Campbell, Karen Elson, and Nicole Kidman. Demarchelier is perhaps best known for his intimate portraits of Princess Diana that helped establish her popularity and accessible public image. Designed by the legendary art director Fabien Baron, the book simultaneously celebrates Demarchelier’s remarkable legacy as one of the most influential fashion photographers of the past forty-five years (he passed away in 2022) and offers a fresh perspective with never-before-seen photos. While his published images often feature polished, high-fashion aesthetics, capturing the glamour and elegance of the fashion world, the unpublished ones reveal a more intimate, raw, and unfiltered side of his artistry. These unseen photos offer a glimpse into Demarchelier’s creative process, showcasing moments of spontaneity and experimentation. Additionally, these unpublished images often reflect a broader range of subjects, moods, and settings, highlighting his versatility and depth as a photographer beyond his signature fashion shoots.
