But what kind of world have they cultivated behind  closed doors? From France to Italy, from England to Morocco, come along  on a private visit to the remarkable homes of couturiers, stylists,  muses, and fashion personalities. Photographer Ivan Terestchenko shows  the décor, works of art, and the personal collections of these legendary  designers. Some interiors, such as Chanel’s apartment at 31 rue Cambon,  are mythic, while others like those of Giorgio Armani’s châlet or  Vanessa Seward, Azzaro’s head designer, are completely unconventional.  From minimal (Nicole Farhi) to exotic (Franca Sozanni), to a deceptively  simple French apartment (Loulou de La Falaise), <a href="http://www.amazon.com/Beyond-Chic-Great-Fashion-Designers/dp/0865652872/ref=sr_1_1?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1380772089&sr=1-1&keywords=beyond+chic" target="_blank">this book</a> explores the  spaces and places created by some of fashion’s biggest names."</i></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgXctPiVRFA-C5VgPeFuf7ZCkVv5dl9cbbdGchCAFuQXPo3xkiUap9x6PtPIt3TLk1Oh8p0CygzwQibhnsa26wH9_YuqEbPTJZYJKfMAgg3NKFfhAUKG-rMrX1kz32WBaXQ9hFZtDsqrM4/s1600/beyond+chic+bedroom.PNG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgXctPiVRFA-C5VgPeFuf7ZCkVv5dl9cbbdGchCAFuQXPo3xkiUap9x6PtPIt3TLk1Oh8p0CygzwQibhnsa26wH9_YuqEbPTJZYJKfMAgg3NKFfhAUKG-rMrX1kz32WBaXQ9hFZtDsqrM4/s1600/beyond+chic+bedroom.PNG" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgsE9v26VuXB8PopRAT8eIkRAgeoulXxXXo5euVHG5iQN7K4gyIozu3b3iXRQocIlz54Eg2Mr9FJEojCG7H5qsD-VmnRbsoy88RQWHbO2LaiyqQTDOXdtmSn-Dx9sDYyKdAcJnriM9AcTU/s1600/BEYOND-CHIC-COFFEE-TABLE-BOOK-03.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgsE9v26VuXB8PopRAT8eIkRAgeoulXxXXo5euVHG5iQN7K4gyIozu3b3iXRQocIlz54Eg2Mr9FJEojCG7H5qsD-VmnRbsoy88RQWHbO2LaiyqQTDOXdtmSn-Dx9sDYyKdAcJnriM9AcTU/s1600/BEYOND-CHIC-COFFEE-TABLE-BOOK-03.jpg" /></a></div><br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhqlzCxSpnmYRZ-Cu_uD-jLqZUjHqobK2YSlqD50keXSLstXc6NooI3wJzNc12OBlTb_dAVq-keUugl81vNOVRc7L3WI7PUEY49BMwN0O43IkI2PMlzc2KdgBenBfyV2bd2qC42G7Ycvhs/s1600/BeyondChic_spreads2.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="340" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhqlzCxSpnmYRZ-Cu_uD-jLqZUjHqobK2YSlqD50keXSLstXc6NooI3wJzNc12OBlTb_dAVq-keUugl81vNOVRc7L3WI7PUEY49BMwN0O43IkI2PMlzc2KdgBenBfyV2bd2qC42G7Ycvhs/s640/BeyondChic_spreads2.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhQgWtg12zdbP1j8tZ1363tACHzJ7XopMmQNoqupKsJfLGBpbeSTUDAIOumU85qMud5QikVuf1EIPTJJMC1x_fP3_qjbsXUDEFUDfzQkpG-J6JtuuvmRcfkcAwjOT4vUEs6dSMp48J7_b4/s1600/VER-BEYOND-CHIC-COFFEE-TABLE-BOOK-2.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhQgWtg12zdbP1j8tZ1363tACHzJ7XopMmQNoqupKsJfLGBpbeSTUDAIOumU85qMud5QikVuf1EIPTJJMC1x_fP3_qjbsXUDEFUDfzQkpG-J6JtuuvmRcfkcAwjOT4vUEs6dSMp48J7_b4/s1600/VER-BEYOND-CHIC-COFFEE-TABLE-BOOK-2.jpg" /></a></div><br /><img align="right" alt="Photobucket" border="0" img="" src="http://i1201.photobucket.com/albums/bb350/littlebluedeer/littlebluedeers%20album%202/signature-8.png" />  <span style="font-size: small;">If you would like help creating inspirational spaces for yourself <a href="http://www.greigedesign.com/index2.php?v=v1#!/CONTACT" target="_blank">contact us</a>!</span>
