Synopsis Faded Glamour by : Pearl Lowe
“To me, an object that was once the height of elegance but is now a bit battered has far more allure than something brand new.” Pearl Lowe in The Daily Telegraph Pearl Lowe has a passion for vintage finds with character—jewel-toned velvet sofas, hand-dyed lace curtains, gleaming lacquer cabinets—and these are the essential ingredients of Faded Glamour, a gloriously decadent and perfectly lived-in decorating style. With evocative photography, Pearl’s beautiful Georgian home is revealed, showcasing her trademark blend of grandly romantic and cool rock ’n’ roll interiors. Take a tour through the colorful living rooms, intimate bedrooms, and plush bathrooms of her creative friends’ unique homes. There are hand-painted peacocks and an emerald silk bedspread in the charming house of a renowned British fashion designer; bright contemporary paintings on the perfectly rustic plaster walls of Hauser and Wirth in Somerset; a rainbow staircase and vivid embroidered wall hangings in the home of an eclectic jewelry designer, and so much more.

Synopsis Faded Glamour by the Sea by : Pearl Lowe
Fulfilling a lifetime dream of finding a house by the sea, Pearl Lowe now brings her laid-back decorating style to coastal living with Faded Glamour by the Sea. Pearl Lowe's gloriously decadent yet perfectly lived-in decorating style was featured in her bestselling interiors book Faded Glamour. Now Pearl is taking us to the coast, and in Faded Glamour by the Sea we get the first glimpse of her new home – a beautiful renovation project that she and her husband, musician Danny Goffey, have created in East Sussex. Built in the 1940s for an artist whose shell sculptures are still dotted round the garden, the house and adjacent cabins have been lovingly restored by Pearl. The house may have been a life-long dream for the couple, who have always loved the solace of water, but it has only been just over a year in the making, thanks to the inspiration Pearl has drawn from many friends who live in the area and also further afield. And so she takes us on a tour of their seaside homes. A pair of antique dealers whose love of all things French inspired them to set up their own brocante in Kent; an artist with a love of beach huts; an author who swapped London life for a clifftop house with his own writer's hut. Add to this the Malibu beachfront home of stylist Rachel Ashwell, the hippy-chic style of supermodel Helena Christensen's waterside retreat and the 'punk noir Victorian' vibe of the hotel created by friends from rock band The Libertines. In Faded Glamour by the Sea Pearl visits these properties, and as the owners tell their stories she explains how she found inspiration for this new chapter in her life.

Synopsis Glamour Ghoul by : Sandra Niemi
Maila Nurmi, the beautiful and sheltered daughter of Finnish immigrants, stepped off the bus in 1941 Los Angeles intent on finding fame and fortune. She found men eager to take advantage of her innocence and beauty but was determined to find success and love. Her inspired design and portrayal of a vampire won a costume contest that lead to a small role on the Red Skelton show which grew into a persona that brought her the notoriety she desired yet trapped her in a character she could never truly escape. This is Malia’s story. Her diaries, notes, and ephemera and family stories bring new insights to her relationships with Orson Welles, James Dean, and Marlon Brando. Sandra Niemi—Malia’s niece—fills in the nuances of her life prior to fame and her struggles after the limelight faded and she found a new community within the burgeoning Los Angeles punk scene who embraced her as their own. , Includes rare photographs.

Synopsis Faded Glamour by : Rebecca Kain
It is an inspirational, high-end, beautifully photographed and designed book, and is unlike other New Zealand-produced coffee table books in that it deals with a style and a way of living from a perspective of unabashed nostalgia, reflecting Rebecca's view that nostalgia is a force for good in our lives. It's therefore both personal to Rebecca and perhaps timely for the rest of us! Faded Glamour was born of a journey. It was a journey that took Rebecca Kain, co-founder of the highly successful New Zealand chain of homeware and gift boutiques Redcurrent, back in time to the lives of her grandmothers, their homes and their way of living. Along the way she recorded what she saw, what she found and how she felt. And en route, Rebecca came to appreciate something that inspired her to write this book. She discovered that nostalgia, so often dismissed as misty-eyed sentimentalism, can be a powerfully positive force. That it need not be solely about memories, but can be a defining way of life {u2013} here and now. This book is named for the phrase Rebecca came to use to describe this way of living. Faded Glamour is as much a style and a way of thinking as it is a book. It is built on a belief that the best things get better with time, developing a patina that comes with human use and love. It is the antidote to the contemporary tendency to {u2018}contrive{u2019} or purchase a look. It lives in homes where little is discarded because value and beauty are seen to grow with age. Through its timelessness, Faded Glamour is thus about the future as much as the past. It is a way of life from which the modern world has much to gain. It is hoped that Faded Glamour will give people the confidence to express themselves free of the chains of fashion: to enjoy a lifetime of layering the things they value, they love and which forms their story.

Synopsis The New Glamour by : Jeff Andrews
Interior designer Jeff Andrews reveals his decorating secrets in a refreshing, youthful, and livable take on what glamour today can be. Kourtney Kardashian. Kris Jenner. Kaley Cuoco. These Hollywood stars and more have turned to Jeff Andrews to deliver his trademark high style to their homes. In his first book, Jeff Andrews guides us through the bold spaces he has created for his celebrity clients, while sharing his philosophy on design, exploring topics such as creating a vision and keeping unexpected choices elegant and cohesive; cultivating cinematic style with sweeping staircases and a feeling of extravagance, while never insisting on buttoned-up formality. Throughout, Andrews reminds us that interiors must be balanced--whether it's making sure that even the most sophisticated house has a sense of welcome, or adding an element of rusticity, like grasscloth walls, to an otherwise sleek modern space. Captivating light fixtures, luxe-yet-comfortable furniture, and carefully curated collections come together for a modern take on old Hollywood glamour that will inspire and instruct. Colorful and fun, this is a sourcebook of cool California living at its best.

Synopsis Jack Pierson by : Richard Marshall
"A survey of the work created by Jack Pierson over the past twenty years reveals a diverse and unique aesthetic expression in an array of moods, materials, and meanings. Drawn to stardrom, melodrama, loneliness, and emotional narrative as subjects for his art, Pierson infuses his work with literal and visual references to lost love, sexual longing, faded glamour, fleeting moments, and melancholic and sentimental musings. His work gravitates toward personal expressions of self and psychological states of being..."--P. 7.
