Veranda的Sep/Oct 2018目录

It’s our first-ever Wanderlust Issue, and we’re bringing the world home to you with insight from stylish jet-setters (think of them as your personal concierges) and with inspiring houses in France, Israel, the Bahamas, and beyond—even a trio of Stateside properties that are totally transporting. So please sit back, relax, and enjoy the ride.…

hearing Marie-Louise Sciò describe her childhood summers at Il Pellicano, the storied Tuscan resort owned by her father, Roberto Sciò, one can’t help but picture an Italian version of Eloise running loose among the glitterati of the 1970s and ’80s. “I got into so much trouble as a kid,” Sciò recalls. “Children still aren’t allowed there to this day!” Juvenile shenanigans aside, that picture perfect setting—the resort’s de facto house photographer was none other than Slim Aarons—provided ideal training for Sciò’s current roles as creative director for the Pellicano Group (which also includes 17th-century villa–turned-hotel La Posta Vecchia) and owner of her consultancy. While Sciò has put her own mark on Il Pellicano—updating everything from its decor (Fornasetti wallpaper, Gio Ponti chairs) to staff uniforms (inspired by Yves Saint Laurent)…

the stone courtyard at the heart of Frida Kahlo’s historic Mexico City home was teeming for floral designer Ariella Chezar’s recent Flower School New York workshop: buckets spilled roses and gladioli; star fruit tumbled across tables. Students pulled from those ingredients as Chezar demonstrated her techniques, and the results were a riotous match for the magical setting.…

I WAS SUBMERGED in research for my new book, Dior and His Decorators: Victor Grandpierre, Georges Geffroy, and the New Look, when life threw the perfect apartment in my path: eight rooms in a 1922 neo-Georgian building with seductive views overlooking the Guggenheim Museum in New York City. Once owned by James M. Guiher, Jr., the venerable editor of H.W. Janson’s landmark History of Art, the apartment was in a bohemian state of neglect that required a gut renovation. Loving the gracious prewar layout, I decided that my mission was to rejuvenate. So while the second bedroom was transformed into a paneled library (finally, enough space for my books), the floor plan did not change an iota. And not surprisingly, since my mind and heart were immersed in the Paris…

THE ALLURE OF TROPICAL-ISLAND LIVING is like a romantic rendezvous. The instant attraction of sun-kissed shores soon gives way to the realities of living in tune with nature: Unrelenting sunshine, humidity for days, jet-stream winds, and the occasional hurricane are definite factors when paradise is home. But for interior designer Amanda Lindroth, overcoming those challenges is all in a day’s work. From her home base in Lyford Cay, Bahamas, Lindroth has been putting her indelible stamp on style across the Atlantic and the Caribbean. Her breezy, colorful takes on classic Bahamian style are cataloged in her new book, Island Hopping: Amanda Lindroth Design (Vendome Press, $60). It’s a portrait of modern-day life in the tropics that rivals the enchantment of Slim Aarons’s photographs of glamorous island life in the 1950s…

looking back at my childhood, two things amaze me. The first is the discovery of how many of the things I liked, indeed loved, at the age of five remain personal favorites to this day. Consistent I have been: roses, peonies, polka dots, stripes, and red, white, and blue all remain a huge part of my design vocabulary. The other is that, even as a little girl, I associated fashion with fantasy and dreams, with the idea of having the right outfit to suit a role. Over the years, I’ve heard many designers speak about the origins of their interest in fashion. Frequently, a magazine is involved: “As a child, I pored over every issue of Vogue and thought, Someday…” That is as far from my experience as you can…

when design cognoscenti meet at the biannual High Point Market in North Carolina, the newest furniture and accessories are on display, forecasting what’s to come. This spring’s show was no exception: Blue is big, in shades from bold teal to pale ice. Rich materials like bronze broaden their appeal, and trims and tassels continue the burgeoning desire for customization.…

WHEN IT CAME TIME TO BUILD the third house he created from the ground up, architect Bobby McAlpine engaged in an experiment of sorts. He wondered if the “soulful qualities of a house could be read through its face without makeup and embellishment.” To that end, in building his new home, he decided to forgo rolling roofs, dormers, and chimneys—elements that, he says, “trigger familiar emotions and obvious warm-and-fuzzy feelings.” Instead, he says, “the architecture stands before you with no apology.” Located in Atlanta’s historic Ansley Park neighborhood, the house also exudes a ton of soul—provided not by the aforementioned typical touchstones but by a dramatic contrast of light and dark. There is warm wood on the walls and ceilings, an abundance of textures, and a magical cast of what…

HARRY WINSTON VERANDA and famed jeweler Harry Winston partnered with author, illustrator and entertaining guru Cathy Graham to celebrate the arrival of the spring season with the house’s floral-inspired collections. A whimsical floral display and fantasy tablescape transformed the private viewing room of the jeweler’s NYC Fifth Avenue salon into an enchanting three-week shopping experience for guests and served as a playful backdrop to a series of invitation-only tea parties.

it’s our first Wanderlust issue, devoted to the wonders of travel and the enriching effect it has on our lives (and our homes!). I’ve always been a big fan of getting out of my comfort zone, and I have been lucky enough to visit inspiring destinations around the world: Jordan, New Zealand, Israel, Thailand, Indonesia, and China are some of the places outside of Europe where my passport has been stamped. Yet I’m embarrassed to say that there are parts of New York City, our magazine’s home base, that are uncharted territory for me, although I do my best to seek out little-known pockets off my regular route between Manhattan and my house north of town. I hope to remedy that even more in the coming year. Then again, I…

he’s been called the most influential British architect since Christopher Wren, a polymath whose enduring legacy of English houses continues to beguile with idiosyncratic charm and impeccable craftsmanship. And now, with the inauguration of the Lutyens Trust America, dedicated to the celebration of his contributions to the field, Edwin Lutyens is getting another turn in the spotlight, and the attention couldn’t be more apt. Lutyens was born in London in 1869 and spent his childhood in Surrey. He had no formal education but was something of a prodigy: Based on the strength of his drawing skills, he enrolled at what would become the Royal College of Art at 16, left at 18 to apprentice at a prestigious London architecture firm, and, by the time he was 20, had opened his…

THE NARROW, SWITCHBACK-LADEN ROAD to “the Hacienda,” Sue and Alex Glasscock’s Malibu aerie, side-winds high into a canyon in the Santa Monica Mountains, a panorama of whiteknuckle drop-offs and bony peaks, the hillsides furred in sage scrub, live oaks, and grasses gone yellow in the dry California spring. On the moody, damp day I visit, the region’s notorious marine layer hasn’t yet burned off, but still, I’m enchanted. The rugged terrain is wreathed strikingly in mist; though I have traveled only 34 miles from the relative bustle of Santa Monica, I am now worlds away. Landscape architect Scott Shrader crunches across the gravel drive to meet me. The Glasscocks have been his clients for 16 years, and the garden Shrader devised for them gets star billing in The Art of…
