We often see fashion designers enter the home realm but when it happens the other way around it is a much rarer occasion. This is one of the many things we love about Interior Designer Kelly Wearstler! While her book Rhapsody is about her interiors, it is clear to see this woman radiates style!

With a completely distinctive style that juxtaposes refinement with rawness and melds color, whimsy, sophistication and swank, multifaceted designer Kelly Wearstler revolutionized the look, feel and meaning of modern American glamour. Resulting in a stunning portfolio of luxurious interiors that show her swanky old-world Hollywood style and modern pop. We all know Kelly Wearstler loves bold color, pattern and texture, so to have a look inside her world and see how it works behind the scenes to create such fascinating and inspiring projects is a real treat delivered in Rhapsody. She is really one of a kind and I might add, extremely humble and gracious in person—a breath of fresh air in the world décor.

In Rhapsody, published by Rizzoli, Kelly Wearstler shares her inspirations, inviting readers into the creation of her opulent interiors. Known for her decadent designs of residences and boutique hotels, such as the line of Viceroys and the tastemakers Maison 140 and Avalon, Kelly’s ornate interiors are distinctive, whimsical and elegant, a look that has been called “mod baroque”. This book offers a look into Kelly’s glamorous world, showcasing her latest residential designs (previously unpublished) and her sumptuous new hotels, as well as her inspiring creative process.

The book also follows Kelly, known for her striking style, behind the scenes to watch her at work, creating sculpture at her metal foundry or shopping at auction houses, to reveal the myriad inspirations that fuel Kelly’s imagination and her dazzling design work. With beautiful images of many never-before-photographed interiors, Kelly Wearstler’s Rhapsody is an inspirational look at one of the most irreverent and fascinating designers working today, celebrating the breadth of her creations.
