Customer Reviews

Just fabulous!

This is a truly fantastic book. As a designer, I'm always looking for books that are original, with a sense of elegance as well as a sense of humor, and this book has it all. This is a very well-edited, diverse selection of the best that Elle has to offer.

Elle Decor So Chic

This wonderful book clearly presents Margaret Russell's point of view. A couple of the featured interiors are "huh?". Being a subscriber to Elle Decor, I have seen many interesting interiors featured over the years and would have liked to have seen how they narrowed the choices down to these. But overall, it's a wonderful book and worth the moolah. Stylemaven

An Instant Classic

SO CHIC! This book is destined to enter the pantheon of cult design books. Like a sublime combination of Architectural Digest's Celebrity Homes from the 80s and Vogue's Book of Houses, Gardens, and People from the 60s, SO CHIC is full of choice interiors from today's tastemakers. I love the range of this book--featuring everything from the over-the-top confection of Kenneth Jay Lane's Orientalist Napoleon III-esque apartment to the understated perfection of Ralph Lauren's beach house--there is something for every design persuasion!

Great book

It's beautiful from cover to cover! And it seems that the Editor has even taken the time to update the stories for today, unlike other publications of its kind. The photos are to die for!! Really, don't miss this one!

One of the best

As usual Margaret Russell's discerning eye and ability to procure the worlds truly fantastic interiors rings through in this collection of favorites from past issues of "Uber Chic" shelter magazine Elle Decor. Divided in to three sections, Interior Design and Architecture, Fashion and Style and Art and Culture, the homes showcased are creativity at it's best. The book is truly curated, each grouping of interiors feeling so connected to the book as a whole but so incredibly individual. Something for every one.
