In this lush, illustrated book for lovers of fashion and interior design, bestselling photographer and author Robyn Lea opens the door to the private spaces where some of the world's top fashion designers live their best creative lives.

At-home photographs and profiles of twenty fashion-world professionals from around the globe give readers an intimate and authentic portrayal of creativity outside the studio or the office. As boldly individual as the designers who call them home, the spaces captured here cross six countries and represent thirteen different architectural styles spanning more than five hundred years, from a fourteenth-century Italian palace to a twenty-first century renovation in the English countryside. They range in size from one-bedroom apartments and compact country cottages to mansions, villas, and palazzos.

Among them are Gilles Masse and Andrea Tartaglia's mid-century modern apartment in Milan, Bella Freud's west London warehouse conversion, Alice Temperley's Regency manor, Edgardo Osorio's palace on the banks of the Arno in Florence, and a sumptuous resort on the shores of Lake Como, JJ Martin's preferred home away from home, where she recharges her creative spirit.

Revealing the ultimate spaces for creative living, This Creative Life encourages and inspires the reader to live their own way.
