This Creative Life

Step inside some of the world's most exciting designer's private spaces.

Join bestselling photographer and author Robyn Lea as she skilfully presents some of the world's most captivating aesthetes living their best creative lives.

Intimate photographs and profiles of some twenty fashion world professionals from around the globe are showcased through Robyn's sophisticated lens, giving the readers an intimate and authentic portrayal of creativity. Drawing on the artistry and dedication of each designer's portfolio of textiles and patterns, the book extends to their most intimate space, the home.

Over twenty gorgeous homes in six countries are celebrated on this book's pages. They represent thirteen different architectural styles and span over 500 years of architecture, from a 14th-century Italian palace to a 21st-century renovation of an English farmhouse. Sizes also vary, from bijou flats and compact country cottages to mansions, villas and palazzos. Among them are Gilles Massé 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.

By stepping inside rooms where imagination is born and nurtured, This Creative Life encourages and inspires the reader to live their very own.
