The Selby Is in Your Place




"Todd Selby was just named one of the top Fashion/Style bloggers by this month’s Vogue magazine, and his new book The Selby Is in Your Place is out April 1st.

The Selby Is in Your Place was conceived when fashion and interiors photographer Todd Selby began taking portraits of dynamic and creative people—authors, musicians, artists, and designers—in their home environments and posting them on his web site. Nosy by nature, he wanted to see how personal style was reflected in private spaces. Luckily for us, he found his answer in the color-rich and eclectic quarters of a diverse group of subjects, including Simon Doonan and Jonathan Adler, Karl Lagerfeld, Andre Walker, and Olivier Zahm, in New York, Los Angeles, Paris, Tokyo, Sydney, and London.

Each profile is accompanied by Selby’s watercolor portraits of the subjects and objects from their homes, and illustrated questionnaires, which Selby asks each sitter to fill out. This book consists of over thirty profiles, most of which are never before seen, selected exclusively for the book. The result is a collection of unique spaces bursting with energy and personality that together create a colorful hodgepodge of inspirational interiors.

About the Author:

His photographs can be seen regularly in Vogue Paris, British Vogue, Architectural Digest France, GQ, The New York Times Magazine, New York Magazine, Dazed & Confused, Another Magazine, and the London Sunday Times."
