DescriptionThe inspiring private gardens of celebrated fashion and design tastemakers, and how these beautiful sanctuaries have influenced their creative work.

For instance, the garden of former Herm s designer Nicole de V sian is a sublime weave of patterns and textures, while the garden of Christian Dior features many of the roses that inspired his glamorous gowns. The result is an alluring compendium of designers' gardens to delight and inspire readers in turn.
