About the Book

This fascinating survey of the world's most prominent interior designers describes the mentors and influences that have inspired their work and offers advice on how to build a practice. Following the same format as the author's critically acclaimed book, Architects on Architects, this collection of candid personal testimony imparts the emotion, inspiration, and challenge of interior design and vividly demonstrates the power of mentorship and the creativity it can unleash. Each of the 24 original essays, told in the designer's own words, is beautifully illustrated with full-color photographs, providing a visually stunning forum for comparison and learning. Full of spellbinding meetings with legendary figures, described by those most touched by their greatness, this amazing journey through the giants of interior design gives you intimate access to some of the most original and creative minds of our time. Designers on Designers provides a beautifully illustrated glimpse into the inspirations that guide the careers of today's greatest interior designers, including Vicente Wolf, Bunny Williams, Robert Couturier, Ashley and Allegra Hicks, and many more

About the Author :
Susan Gray is a people and portrait photographer and writer who has worked with a number of major corporations, magazines, and museums. The Eastman Kodak Company sponsored her first book, Writers on Directors (Foreword by Leonard Maltin) and her critically acclaimed second title, Architects on Architects (Foreword by Paul Goldberger) was sponsored by USG Corporation and reviewed in major publications including The New York Times Book Review (a revealing ... collection) as well as Publisher's Weekly (architects and enthusiasts will delight in this moving, erudite collection.)

Review :
As designers comment on other designers here, different relationships abound: mentor-protege, teacher-student, father-son, icon-admirer. The commented-on artisans all have one thing in common, though: they represent the greats from throughout the world and over three centuries. Editor Gray, known for elegant home fashion journalism ("Architects on Architects, " 2001) wisely allows each contemporary designer to speak in his or her own voice about the geniuses they reveal. This way, each portrait includes revelations about both parties, both in the narrative and photographically. It's said that Billy Baldwin defined design as "all about making people feel wonderful in their homes"; Stephane Boudin was the wizard behind Jackie Kennedy's restoration of the White House; and Rose Cumming summed up the profession by saying, "Either you have a flair or you haven't." At the end the do's and don't's are fairly instructive; watch for "do start a collection," "don't be afraid to be whimsical," "do be able to make a decision," and "stop trying to edit, edit, edit."--Jacobs, Barbara "Booklist "
