In the notoriously fickle world of fashion, the relationship between a model and the photographer is one of the most sacred; and that between supermodel Linda Evangelista and Steven Miesel is one for the books… literally. Among these are the evolution of a home, how to create a restful haven amid the bustle of the modern world, and the expert blend of colour, pattern, comfort and luxury for which Campbell is so well known and loved.

Just as California incubated a particular strain of modernist architecture, the state produced a roster of enormously influential interior designers who riffed on the colors and light of Los Angeles, Palm Springs, Santa Barbara, San Diego, San Francisco, and all points in between. Mix and match what you feature on your coffee table; think small objects, vases, lamps and other trinkets, and make sure they are different in height! Among them are Billy Baldwin, Kelly Hoppen and Karim Rashid; and some of the rooms belong or have belonged to luminaries from the worlds of art, fashion and film, such as Yves Saint Laurent, Coco Chanel, Pablo Picasso and Jennifer Aniston. Smith, Steven Volpe, Kelly Wearstler, and a new generation of talents have picked up the torch of sublime, homegrown California design. Presenting his architectural oeuvre, the first volume of this XXL monograph brims with unpublished images and sketches, handpicked by Foster, while the second contains eight essays describing his sources, written by the Pritzker-prize winning architect.
