Elsie de Wolfe
The House in Good Taste
New York: Rizzoli, 2004
First printing of a modern edition, based on magazine articles from 1914.
One of the 20th century's most fascinating hostesses, who virtually invented the concept of interior decoration in America, Lady Mendl, as she later became, presided over the social worlds of New York in the 1900s, Paris in the 20s and wartime Hollywood.
She numbered legions of celebrity clients and followers from every level of society.
