So Chic. Glamorous Lives, Stylish Places

From the sophisticated Milan duplex of runway diva Donatella Versace to the rustic Montauk retreat of all-American Ralph Lauren, So Chic: Glamorous Lives, Stylish Spaces opens the door to the private worlds of today's most fashionable people.

Culled from the archives of Elle Décor, America's most elegant interiors magazine, So Chic is a guided tour of the homes of tastemakers, trendsetters, and stylemongers―whether timelessly classic, mixmaster modern, or just plain funky. Get an exclusive peek into:

• Sarah Jessica Parker's 19th-century farmhouse in Bridgehampton
• Roberto Cavalli's majestic Tuscan villa
• Liza Bruce's vibrant apartment in exotic Jaipur
• Cindy Crawford's Malibu beach house
• Anh Duong's loft in Manhattan's West Village

Plus, it offers "Inside Information," a compendium of style tips from star homeowners, who offer advice on how to hang pictures, plan a party, live with antiques, dress a seductive bed, and much more.
