Simply put Architectural Digest is a legend a publication one pores over and - photo 4

Simply put, Architectural Digest is a legend,

a publication one pores over and holds on to.

But times change and so do legendsand recently

AD has been changing in ways that have been

thrilling to see. Under the editorship of Amy Astley,

whose vision I am constantly impressed by, AD has

modernized. Where one might have once called

the magazine elegant and formalpossibly a little

conservativeit now feels youthful and stylish

and full of personality. The homes that Amy

chooses reflect not just the idealized visions of

their designers and architects, but also the lives

of the owners. Shes brought warmth and energy

to her pagesand a great new logoand shes

updated AD for the 21st century with its digital

brands Clever and ADPro. One might say shes

done a lovely renovation. Shes let the light in.

How exciting to celebrate AD past and

present with this wonderful book. The pages

that follow combine unforgettable images and

unforgettable homesone after another. From

Frank Gehry s new residence in Santa Monica to

a fascinating look at the Obama White House,

to the Brooklyn loft of the artist KAWS, to Tory

Burch s Southampton estate, to Kylie Jenner s

private getaway in Los Angeles, AD at 100 is quite

the house tour. Heres to the next 100 years.

Foreword

by Anna Wintour

100 YEARS!

Its a big deal.

So, to celebrate this major

milestone, how could we

resist throwing Architectural

Digest a big birthday bash

and inviting all our friends?

Well, you are now holding

that party in your hands,

and, indeed, all of our crowd,

past and present, are here

for the occasion.

And what an A-list celebration it is! So many

stars of pop culture have welcomed AD into

their private realms to examine their version

of the well-lived life. Weve got Fred Astaire

at home in Beverly Hills; Kate Moss lounging

around her London dressing room; Frank Gehry

revealing the Santa Monica dream house he

designed for himself and his wife; David Bowie in

his Mustique hideaway;

Anderson Coope r

poolside at his Brazilian

beach house; Georgia

OKeeffe in her adobe

home in New Mexico.

Theres a slew of ageless

scene-stealing divas

residence, circa 1930s ( AD April 1990; see ).

Introduction

by Amy Astley

Bette Davis, Marlene Dietrich,

Carole Lombard, Elizabeth Taylor,

Liza Minnelli, Barbra Streisand,

Mariah Carey at ease in their

luxe lairs. And house-proud,

design-savvy tastemakers like

Jennifer Aniston, Julianne Moore,

Valentino Garavani, Ricky Martin,

Mandy Moore, Robert Downey Jr.,

Kris Jenner, Margherita Missoni

Amos, Marc Jacobs, and buzzy

artist KAWS (a.k.a. Brian Donnelly )

have all opened their doors.

Its no surprise that celebrities of every

realmentertainment, art, fashionhave long

played a role in our story; AD was, after all,

founded in Los Angeles. They humanize our

glossy vision, lending charisma, personality, and

context to our photography and providing an

irresistible way to chart the shifting tides of taste.

But, fun though they most certainly are,

stars are only one piece of our mosaic. It really is

the interior designers, architects, and landscape

designers who guarantee that our pictures exude

what I call the wow factor month after month.

It takes a professional to beguile our cameras

in the manner our readers expect. The grandees

of decorating are all here, too, of course: Elsie

de Wolfe, Madeleine Castaing, Henri Samuel,

William Haines, Billy Baldwin, Renzo Mongiardino,

Nancy Lancaster, Albert Hadley, Michael Taylor,

and so many others. The photos weve selected

prove that their work stands the test of time.

These classic interiors remain as worthy of study

home, in Versailles, France ( AD September 1996; see ).

now as when they were first published, and

their influence on new generations of talent

as evidenced throughout these pagesis

readily apparent.

In the early years The Architectural Digest

(the The thankfully dropped in the 1960s), true

to its name, documented mostly faades and

exteriors, all largely confined to its birthplace.

California architects such as Wallace Neff, Cliff

May, and Paul Williams were championed,

and later the Case Study crowd (Richard Neutra,

Pierre Koenig, Craig Ellwood) and the daring

visionaries (John Lautner, Frank Gehry) all got

star treatment. But once AD s cameras moved

inside, there was no going back. Over the

decades, the publication has built a vast archive

of interiors that tell a fascinating story of the

evolution of manners and mores. In fact, after

sifting through a century of photos, it strikes

me that our lifestyles may have changed even

more profoundly than our tastes.

Whereas AD had been knownand

celebratedfor capturing grand residences

with stately (and, to our

modern eyes, a bit stiff)

rooms for formal dining

and entertaining, the

prevailing spirit loosened

up with each passing decade.

Todays trophy room might

be a spacious, chef-grade

kitchen, a spa-like bathroom,

a high-tech screening room,

a fully loaded Pilates studio,
