Synopsis
A must have for those fascinated with the history of the interior design business as well as the history of New York City, where Draper lived and designed some of her most famous projects such as the Carlyle Hotel Features personal and archival photographs by fashion and society photographers Edward Steichen, Cecil Beaton and Andre Kértéz whose images were published in the 1920s in Vogue magazine Insightful texts are based on interviews with Draper's family, former staff of the company and the author's personal memories of Dorothy Draper who was referred to as the 'Duchess of Decorating' Extensive appendices that include never-before-seen Draper documents Designer and interior decorator Dorothy Draper's color-filled life story is one of high society, money, gossip, and throughout it all, reinvention. Carleton Varney has owned and directed Dorothy Draper & Company, Inc., for almost 60 years. He worked with Mrs. Draper at the end of her illustrious career, and wrote the only biography of her life, The Draper Touch: The High Life and High Style of Dorothy Draper, in 1988. In the book, Varney sets the scene and defines the milieu that Draper was born into in 1889 and from which she escaped to become one of America's leaders in design--a true visionary entrepreneur. Thirty-three years later, Shannongrove Press is releasing this deluxe edition of The Draper Touch. With a new foreword by Varney, newly found photographs, recently discovered historical documents from a private collection, and archival ephemera from Draper's family, this beautiful tome reveals Draper's fascinating journey and the real stories behind her ground-breaking work., * A must have for those fascinated with the history of the interior design business as well as the history of New York City, where Draper lived and designed some of her most famous projects such as the Carlyle Hotel* Features personal and archival photographs by fashion and society photographers Edward Steichen, Cecil Beaton and Andre Kértéz whose images were published in the 1920s in Vogue magazine* Insightful texts are based on interviews with Draper's family, former staff of the company and the author's personal memories of Dorothy Draper who was referred to as the 'Duchess of Decorating'* Extensive appendices that include never-before-seen Draper documentsDesigner and interior decorator Dorothy Draper's color-filled life story is one of high society, money, gossip, and throughout it all, reinvention.

- n***i (28)- Feedback left by buyer.Past yearVerified purchaseI accidentally finished the purchase with our old address listed and worried that it would be delivered there and I’d have to go back to our old building. Contacted the seller and they were able to change the order promptly and it made it to us no problem. They had great communication. Item came as described and packaging was perfect. Great value. Thanks so much!PRE-OWNED Katamari Damacy Reroll for Nintendo Switch - Tested (#226610156342)
- f***f (6)- Feedback left by buyer.Past 6 monthsVerified purchaseShoes are pristine. No protection within plastic bag packaging but arrived ok. Delivery was quicker than expected but could have been left between doors instead of basically dropped at the top of my steps. Other than that - ecstatic with purchase! As described - in fact better than described. Excellent value.Red patent Leather Weejuns Loafers Size 7 (#226627854999)
- g***b (1994)- Feedback left by buyer.Past yearVerified purchaseFull refund after several miss-steps by the seller. Be very careful if you buy here. Not recommended at all. Seller LIED about the progress of this item, and after many emails finally admitted that they didn't ship it and they didn't create a lable as stated. I don't want something in my collection associated with bad vibes (so I asked for, and got, a full refund) I'm a serious eBay buyer (over two thousand buys since 1998) so I'm not here to waste my time or tolerate bad seller behavior.Vintage Panasonic OmniMovie VHS Camera Recorder PV-200D (#226492362035)
