Spanning the worlds of fashion, music, film, art, and design, the people inhabiting these pages come from around the globe, showing us there are so many ways to create a beautiful home. The interiors encompass different milieus and styles, from city to country, classical to bohemian, modern to old world, including art-filled urban lofts and classic townhouses as well as country estates and tropical getaways. Astley takes us on a personal tour through some of her favorite homes photographed for the magazine, going deeper and showing previously unpublished images. From actor Dakota Johnson's relaxed indoor-outdoor mid-century modern house in Los Angeles to producer and screenwriter Shonda Rhimes's classically elegant New York City apartment, each of these carefully considered spaces reflects the personality and lifestyle of the people who live there. Artist Mariko Mori is shown in her minimalist white pod on a Japanese island, performer RuPaul poses in his glamorously over-the-top Los Angeles villa, and Alicia Keys and Swizz Beatz show us the personal side of their strikingly modern home, inviting us into their art-filled living room. With beautiful photography by AD's top photographers, and thoughtful, illuminating texts by Astley and her team of editors on what makes each of these interiors so special, this volume is a celebratory tour de force of design and personal expression.
