Design & style

About this book

"Universal experiences come together with vibrant examples and exclusive photos of Roehm's work in fashion, flowers, table design, and interiors to create a unique celebration of the power of beauty. Carolyne Roehm's bestselling books have been a source of inspiration, pleasure, and education for thousands of readers. Now for the first time she shares her life in style, from her small-town Missouri childhood to her New York fashion career and her role as an author and tastemaker. From her early years working for Oscar de la Renta, through running her eponymous fashion line, to the reinvention of herself as an author, to the constant threads of color, quality, classicism, and nature that run through all the media for which she has designed, the book traces the personal evolution of a woman long fascinated by style, who remains passionate about sharing her vision with others. Reflecting on past influences and sharing both iconic and never-before-seen photos, Roehm shows how her passion for creativity transcended fields--interiors, floral design, gardening, entertaining, tabletop, painting, and photography--in work, style, and life"--Dust jacket.
