Whenever I take those "style quizzes" for fashion or interior design, no matter how hard I try to fix the answers, I'm always awarded the "whimsical" description. All right already. I'm whimsical (aka nuts!). I get it. I'm OK with it, because I'm not the only one who likes a little quirk. Take British interior designer Abigail Ahern, whose home photographer Todd Selby recently shot. Ahern's home Read more
Photographer Todd Selby recently shot the Auckland, NZ, home of stylist and vintage store owner Charlotte Rust, and I was most intrigued by this photo of Rust's bedroom: a loft above her kitchen. Over the years I've had a few friends with loft bedrooms, but never one in such close proximity to where the cooking goes down. It looks like this stylish lady runs a tight ship when it comes to Read more
Photographer Todd Selby recently shot this Miami home of a hip-hop star. The musician also has his own apparel line and designed a series of glasses and jewelry for Louis Vuitton. He is shown here, along with a red chair that he designed for Domeau & Pérès, which features provocatively-placed legs of a man and a woman. Read more
Until this Friday at 9 a.m. EST, photographer Todd Selby's book, The Selby Is in Your Place ($23), will be available in its entirely online for your reading pleasure. If you haven't already bought the book, which was released in April, then after previewing it online, you'll certainly be convinced to pick up a copy for yourself — or for a friend for the holidays! I was excited to finally Read more
CasaSugar Community member Sadv recently shared some photos of her home with the Lovely Little Vignettes group, which she submitted for CB2's The Selby contest. I love the arrangement of white frames she hung on her black wall. It just goes to show you that costly artwork isn't a necessity for a statement-making wall. Since her TV and Holly Golightly artwork sit pretty low, it's great how the Read more
I'm a huge fan of Philippe Starck's work. Heck, I have a borderline psychotic obsession with his Louis Ghost chair. But I never said he wasn't a nut case, too. Starck is the quintessential odd bird. So it's no surprise that photographer Todd Selby chose to photograph Starck's Parisian home — it completely fits the eclectic, maximalist profile Selby searches for for his interior shots. In Read more
The Selby recently featured the NYC home of hotelier Sean Macpherson, which has gorgeous architectural details and a really casual, well-traveled, and worn aesthetic. Albeit a bit quirky, the space is pretty traditional, so it surprised me a bit to see a swing hanging in his living room. He seems to be having fun with it! I imagine his guests enjoy it, too. Would you want one of your own? Photo Read more
Refinery29 created a brilliant flow chart mapping out how to get your home photographed by The Selby. As cheeky as it is, the map to Todd Selby famedom, which is fittingly painted in watercolors in his style, pinpoints a few key things about the homes The Selby selects. A bonafide hipster himself, the chosen ones are almost exclusively equally creative types, such as fashion designers, artists, Read more
Photographer Todd Selby was asked by Cole Haan to cast, photograph, and interview a group of people who he found inspiring for the brand's Spring Summer 2010 campaign. He selected store owners, gallery directors, athletes, DJs, musicians, and photographers, and photographed many of them in their homes. Naturally, they all had stylish digs. My favorite of all those featured was this bedroom Read more
Photographer Todd Selby recently toured the NYC apartment of music label director Keith Abrahamsson and stylist Kate Young, which is simply too cool for school. Under a backdrop of warm grays, the digs have plenty of high-quality furniture with interesting shapes and artsy elements, but the thing I love the most is that each room has something subtle and creative to notice. In the bathroom, I Read more
