Editor-in-chief Amy Astley has revolutionized AD and the world of interior design by emphasizing that the home is, above all, a reflection of the people who live in it. Her favorite stories from the past ten years about homes, interiors, and unique lifestyles of some of the most creative and influential people of our time will inspire any design enthusiast.

An undisputed authority in design over the last century, AD under Astley’s direction is today more popular and relevant than ever. The magazine showcases a wide variety of styles and trendsetters, helping to personalize interior design for everyone. This book gathers deeply original interiors along with the personality and creativity of the most outstanding names who live in them.

Spanning the worlds of fashion, music, cinema, art, and design, the people featured in these pages come from all over the world and show us that there are endless ways to create a beautiful home. The interiors cover different settings and styles, from urban to rural, from classic to bohemian, from modern to traditional, including urban lofts filled with art, classic terraced houses, large country estates, and tropical retreats.

Astley guides us on a personal tour of some of her favorite homes photographed for the magazine, delving into them and showing previously unseen images. From the relaxed mid-century modern style home with indoor-outdoor connection of actor Dakota Johnson in Los Angeles, to the classic elegance of producer and screenwriter Shonda Rhimes’s New York apartment, each of these carefully designed spaces reflects the personality and lifestyle of their inhabitants. Artist Mariko Mori appears in her minimalist white capsule on a Japanese island, artist RuPaul poses in his lavishly glamorous Los Angeles villa, and Alicia Keys and Swizz Beatz open the doors to their striking modern home, inviting us into their art-filled living room.

With exceptional photography by the best AD photographers and thoughtful, enlightening texts by Astley and her editorial team about what makes each interior special, this volume is a celebration of design and personal expression in its most inspiring form.
