Author Paul McClean and Michael Webb, Foreword by James Magni

Hollywood’s most sought-after architects are synonymous with the quintessential California lifestyle.

McClean’s second Rizzoli book explores fifteen ultra-modern residences completed over the past five years. Rigorous, elegant, and impeccably detailed, McClean’s houses are the embodiment of livable modernism and set the stage for every aspect of California living. The residences range from a remodeled classical mansion in San Francisco, to waterfront houses and serene oases that seem to float above the flats of Los Angeles, with vistas extending from mountains to the ocean.

Since its founding in 2000, McClean Design’s focus has been on creating home sanctuaries that open to the best views. From the structure to plantings, lighting, and furnishings, there’s a free flow of space, through the house and out to the horizon. The quiet authority of McClean’s houses exerts a calming influence. There’s a sense of formality and spareness in the architecture, a reduction to essentials, serving not as a constraint, but as a foil to the landscape and the relaxed character of the interior spaces; wood strip floors, cabinetry, and natural stones add warmth, as do the soft furnishings in neutral tones. The book includes floor plans and explanatory essays and notes by the architects on common themes throughout their work.
About The Author

Creative Paris: Urban Interiors, Inspiring Innovators

Author My Little Paris



Viewed from the streets, Paris is where true inspiration lies. But stepping inside--where real Parisians live, work, and create--makes the heart beat stronger.

For the past decade, French online phenomenon My Little Paris has divulged the city's best-kept secrets in fashion, interiors, and lifestyle to some four million subscribers. Now, this creative young team takes us inside thirty-four of their own homes and creative spaces, sharing Paris's freshest interior inspiration.

In a relaxed apartment on the edge of the Canal Saint-Martin, an aquamarine accent wall complements a vintage fridge and matching coffee mugs--setting the tone with the vibrant hue. Birdcages, vinyl records, and colorful kimonos mingle harmoniously with vintage photographs, dazzling African wax cushions, and contemporary art. The view from a tiny sixth-floor walk-up reveals slate rooftops and open sky, while inside, in fashion-showroom style, a pair of silver Margiela designer boots, a plush orange bomber jacket, and a hot pink visor pepper the furniture. The My Little Paris workspace in an old carousel factory in Montmartre includes a "dream room," green wall, and rooftop terrace overlooking Sacré-Coeur.

This insider's tour of Paris is made possible only through the abracadabra magic of the team behind Paris's most popular lifestyle start-up. Their interiors--each sparkling with Parisian style--provide home inspiration and are rich with ideas for sparking creativity.

Do Remember! The Golden Era of NYC Hip-Hop Mixtapes is the first comprehensive deep-dive oral and visual history of the golden era of hip-hop mixtape culture in New York City.

From street corners to corner offices, mixtapes made a huge impact on the music industry and hip-hop culture in New York City during the late ’80s, ’90s, and early 2000s. Mixtapes helped dictate what rap songs were hot in the clubs, on the radio, and in the streets, and they influenced which artists would get signed to record deals. Mixtapes also showcased which DJs had the most skills and creativity, and who had the juice to pull the illest exclusives.

Do Remember! combines the best elements of oral and pictorial histories to explore the evolution of mixtapes as a crucial component of New York City hip-hop culture. Featuring a comprehensive collection of rare mixtape cover art, never-before-seen images, vintage tracklists, and exclusive interviews with Kid Capri, Brucie B, Mister Cee, Ron G, S&S, Doo Wop, Green Lantern, Lord Finesse, Clark Kent, Bobbito, Cipha Sounds, Havoc of Mobb Deep, the late, great DJ Kay Slay, and many more, including a special foreword by Fab 5 Freddy, Do Remember! captures an era in New York City that went on to inspire future hip-hop generations all over the world.

Entre Nous: Bohemian Chic in the 1960s and 1970s: A Photo Memoir by Mary Russell

Photographs by Mary Russell, Edited by Pierre Passebon



Glamorous fashion editor Mary Russell's personal photographs capture the effervescence of the 1960s and 1970s from within the international fashion and art scenes.

As Paris fashion correspondent for Glamour, Vogue, Women's Wear Daily, and the New York Times, and as photo stylist for Helmut Newton, David Bailey, Lord Snowdon, Francesco Scavullo, and Henry Clarke, Mary Russell both captured the mood and became part of the international clique of elite bohemians who ruled the world of art and fashion. Participating in fashion history as it happened, Russell traveled from couture events to glamorous holidays with the people who invented cool modernity, mining the élan of the period and exploding the boundaries between reportage and fashion.

Published here for the first time and accompanied by Russell's personal memoirs, this collection includes intimate portraits of Andy Warhol's visit to Paris with the Factory, Yves Saint Laurent and Pierre Bergé's circle, Jane Birkin, Peter Beard, Gunter Sachs, and others.



About The Author

Mary Russell's career in fashion journalism was launched when Diana Vreeland recommended her for a job at Glamour in New York; she eventually opened the magazine's Parisian office. She worked closely with celebrities from film, fashion, music, and dance. Pierre Passebon owns the Galerie du Passage in Paris.
