Über den Autor
Elsie De Wolfe (1859-1950) is regarded as America's first interior designer. Starting with her first official commission in 1905 at Stanford White's Colony Club, she designed the interiors of homes for Amy Vanderbilt, Anne Morgan, Henry Clay, and Adelaide Frick, and the Duke and Duchess of Windsor. Styled as Lady Mendl after her marriage to an English aristocrat, she lived in the limelight and spearheaded a new American style that swept away Victorian-era holdovers.
