ARQUITECTURA Y DISEÑO

No Hollywood red carpet is ever without an A-list celebrity wearing one of Pamella Roland’s signature megawatt dresses that never fail to catch the light of a camera. Since the American fashion designer’s debut eveningwear couture collection at New York Fashion Week in 2002, Roland has been a perennial favorite for women and celebrities alike who aren’t afraid of being in the spotlight. Each page of this dazzling debut book features the opulent, sophisticated, and undeniably feminine cocktail dresses, evening gowns, and luxurious women’s resort wear that have made Roland a mainstay in the closets of everyone from Hollywood starlets to customers outside the fashion centers of New York and Los Angeles. Colorful, eye-catching photographs reveal Roland’s design process and creation of her gowns, including sketches, inspirational reference material, snapshots of memorable runway and red-carpet moments, and the debut of her new fragrance. Featured in the book are many of Roland’s devoted friends and clients including Vanessa Williams, Paris Hilton, Mindy Kaling, Kim Cattrall, Debra Messing, Chrissy Teigen, Gigi Hadid, Halle Berry, Rosie Perez, and Eva Longoria, among others. A tribute to the bedazzled, embroidered, and glitzy dresses worn by Hollywood elite, New York socialites, and women across the globe—this volume is a beautiful addition to the libraries of fashion, design, and style lovers.

This is the first major book on Zegers, who practices an intensely artistic and ecological form of architecture based on landscapes in which she builds. Working frequently in timber, Zegers reaches unique, sustainable, and recyclable solutions that combine and rescue the traditional work of Chilean carpenters with modern techniques. In an almost metaphysical journey, in which organic forms, curves, diagonals, and verticals are combined, Zegers affirms her rising presence as a force in ecologically minded architecture.

Celebrated photographer and author Ricardo Labougle takes us on an odyssey through the most superbly decorated homes in Paris. Labougle’s striking photography highlights the rich variety of Paris interiors—from classical and rococo styling to more modern interpretations of decor. However inspiration strikes, a Paris interior will rise magnificently to the occasion, as demonstrated by internationally-acclaimed Jacques Grange’s contemporary apartment situated in a Regency palace, the innovative rustic modernism of Studio KO, Vincent Darré’s breathtaking painted wall designs, which combine XVIII-century and 1920s styles, and Jacopo Etro’s architecturally exquisite space, enhanced by mid-century décor and filled with objets d’art.
