Wendy Goodman is inimitable. If you have a passion for interior design, you know her name. Like the millions that adore her Design Hunting for the The Cut from New York Magazine, I'm in awe of her energy and stamina. Why? Because she attends more events in a week than most people do in a year. Literally. If you are a downtowner like me, you are lucky enough to bump into this bundle of energy from time to time, as she heads from one fabulous event to the other from time to time.
In a world full of faux-luxe places and puzzlingly pretentious people, Goodman has a talent for finding the real and the authentic.
In her latest book, "May I Come In" (ABRAMS), Wendy showcases the spaces that has inspired her over several decades of her career.
Creatives like Gianni Versace, Jean Paul Goude, Andy Warhol, Vito Schnabel, Amy Sedaris, Rosamund Bernier, Diana Vreeland, and a so many more - you won't believe it.
You WILL NOT find a book like this anywhere. Seriously. Goodman relives her visits with these creatives, and gives us insight to what inspires her quest for the beautiful, and the interesting. It is physically large, colorful, and wonderful.
Buy this book. You will not regret it. I promise. Click images for buying options. I spotted the book while browsing the incredible retailer - KIRNA ZABETE. If you live in NYC, or plan to visit. Put Kirna Zabete on your "must see" list. Again.. you won't be sorry.
