A colorful book by American designer Jamie Drake that illustrates his definition of glamour through his interiors. Jamie explains how his style is derived, in part, from the old MGM motto: "Make it big! Do it right! Give it class!" It includes many of Jamie's illustrations with sections on luster, texture, color, curves and mixing.
Jamie Drake, the man behind some of this country's most dynamic, distinctive, and livable interiors, and voted one of the Top AmericanDesigners by House Beautiful and New York Magazine, knows how to create seriously delightful environments. Equally comfortable in traditional and contemporary styles, he is known for his flair with bold, fearless color. New American Glamour captures Drake's signature lush, high-wattage eclecticism with 175 full-color images - the majority of which have been photographed especially for this book by WilliamWaldron. The book covers Drake's take on making an ordinary room extraordinary using five basic principles: Luster, Texture, Color, The Curve.
