Vogue Living: Houses, Gardens, People (Vogue Lifestyle)

ONE OF MY ALL TIME FAVOURITE BOOKS- Wonderful photographs of shoots at Vogue over years and years from the great photographers of our time- unrepeatable in terms of design direction and impact, therefore value for money. I have bought this book more than 20 times over and will continue to as long as it is in print- then I shall have boxes in reserve. A generous and loving gift for a friend that is full of delights, essays and the past. A COMPLETE SUCCESS STORY-

Simply beautiful - the most refined and glamorous houses on the planet!

This is a really lovely book, bit old now, but doesn't matter! Perfect coffee table book. Bought mine cheaply used and looked like new. Very pleased, would recommend if your looking for an inspiring coffee table book.

Alo good

The book is a very big size and quit heavy to lift. You need to have a space for it. Each house have text written and picture about it. I bought this item because I like the picture quality and I knew that it will inspire me to decorate my house. The service of the delivery was good and on time, it came not damaged. I would recommend to anyone who is intrested in interior design or are a Vogue fan.

Great interiors

I am loyal reader of the Dutch, Spanish, English and American Vogue and I expected wheigh more of the book.. It's not bad, but the pictures you can find in the magazines or blogs give more inspiration.... Not really worth the money..

I love it! Great book, what more can I say? Not all the houses are done by designers (thank God). Quirkiness and personality have a big input here. Recommended, totally.

Recomendaría el libro. Si bien, por otra parte normal en libros de esta característica, algunas casas se muestran de forma breve o no están a la altura del resto de casas, jardines..., repertoriados.

Big and gorgeous book

Flash review: The perfect gift book for this season. This new book, timed for Xmas giving, features a selection of the best homes shown in Vogue in the past several years. It is a large-scale book, filled with wonderful color photography. Although Elle Decor and Architectural Digest have come out with similar books this season, neither can hold a candle to Vogue's tome. If you are familiar with the 1968 publication, "Vogue's Book of Houses, Gardens, People", which now sells for $400 and up if you can find it, you will know what is in store for you. Maximum emphasis on homes you would love to see in person, owned by people of impeccable style: Janet de Botton in the south of France, Marella Agnelli in Marrakech, David Cholmondeley's stately, etc.; minimal number of celebrity digs done by decorators of questionable taste which you tend to see in Architectural Digest. The style and taste of the featured houses, gardens (and, yes, people) are on an entirely different plane than those shown in the new books by the other two lifestyle magazines. July 2010 Follow up review: Just how tight is the upper class of England? On page 312 we meet the Hanbury girls, mom looking beautiful and daughters Marina, 21 at the time the story was originally done in 2003, and Rosie, then 19, obviously both gorgeous, as they gambol about their lovely Devon estate. Now, in the June 2010 issue of Tatler, we read about the marriage several years ago of Rosie Hanbury, at age 25, to David, Marquess of Cholmondeley, 49, who was discussed on page 358 of the book as the owner of Houghton Hall. You may remember that name from the Treasure Houses of Britain exhibit. He is one of the wealthiest men in England, an intimate of the Queen, and Rosie has now given him two sons. The older Hanbury daughter, Marina, now 28, has recently been engaged to Ned, Earl of Lambton, 48 years old and heir to Lord Lambton who we visited on page 132 of this book. The late Lord Lambton was shown at his Tuscany home, Centinale, which he shared with his long time mistress, Claire Ward, mother of the beautiful actress Rachel Ward. Centinale is just one of four estates inherited by Ned upon the death of his father, along with a huge pile of cash. If one were a cynic, one might say that neither Hanbury daughter has let mere money, titles or stately homes stand in the way of their love for these men old enough to be their father, but I would never make such an observation. Nor would I note that Lord Cholmoneley met young Rosie at Centinale, tying all three families together yet again. This book is great fun and an immediate classic.
