“The Authentics: A Lush Dive into the Substance of Style,”by renowned photographer Melanie Acevedo & Dara Caponigro, founding editor of domino magazine Dara Caponigro, is a beautiful new book that brings us inside the private interiors of creative trailblazers in art, design, and fashion around the world.
The book is loaded with gorgeous photography. Fascinating interviews with creative tastemakers who share glimpses of their homes and give insights into their own personal styles.
The featured homeowners, include famed shoe designer Christian Louboutin, interior designer Miles Redd, actress Peggy Lipton, interior designer Ashley Hicks & Katalina Hicks, interior designer Nicky Haslam, architect Joseph Dirand, and Libertine designer Johnson Hartig, among others.
The book’s photos include intimate portraits, interiors, gardens, as well as still-life shots of tabletop, objets, flowers, food, and more, which collectively form each visionary’s own voice and personal brand. The essays and other writings add depth and dimension.
“The Authentics” is at once a design memoir and an inspiration treasure trove.
