Book Description
Women with savoir faire and verve, women who inform and inspire, women who know how to get what they want out of a room--Designing Women takes a fresh look at sixteen contemporary trendsetters. The exclusive group includes Muriel Brandolini, Mariette Hines Gomez, Tricia Guild, Victoria Hagan, Holly Hunt, Charlotte Moss, and Catherine Memmi--innovators whose highly individual styles have strongly influenced the direction of design.
