AD at Home is available now.<\/p>\n
Long time readers of AD might have noticed a shift in 2016. As Anna Wintour, global editorial director of Vogue and global chief content officer of Cond\u00e9 Nast, describes it, the homes and rooms that graced the glossy pages \u201cwere somehow more lived in, more human-scaled. Not everything had to be so perfectly in its place.\u201d That perceptible swing\u2014characterized by personality, warmth, and settled approachability\u2014coincided with Amy Astley\u2019s appointment as our head of editorial content.<\/p>\n
AD at Home (Rizzoli), our new book, chronicles that journey. Spread across nearly 500 pages, the tome revisits a collection of exceptional tours<\/a> published during Astley\u2019s nearly decade-long tenure. From Marc Jacobs\u2019s Greenwich Village town house<\/a> (the first cover under her leadership) to Troye Sivan\u2019s Melbourne home<\/a> (\u201cTroye\u2019s knowledge, sophistication, and passion for design are beyond his years,\u201d Astley notes in the book), the collection showcases the best of her vision for the magazine.<\/p>\n \u201cThis story was a full-circle moment for me,\u201d Astley writes in AD at Home about this Connecticut hideaway\u2019s<\/a> owners, Giancarlo and Jane de Valle, the founders of Studio Valle de Valle. \u201cI\u2019ve known Giancarlo and Jane for years, since they were quite young. Jane and I worked together at Teen Vogue and AD, and I always felt Giancarlo was destined to be a big star.\u201d<\/p>\n Photo: Stephen Kent Johnson<\/p>\n It\u2019s full of creative tastemakers who flex their talents across a kaleidoscope of industries including art, music, film, fashion, and, of course, design. This includes reader favorites like Lenny Kravitz, Dakota Johnson, and more. \u201cFascinating people at home. This was my vision when I joined Architectural Digest,\u201d Astley writes in the book\u2019s editor\u2019s letter. \u201cCreatives of every type loomed large in my mind for an AD fizzing with ideas and inspiration on how to live now.\u201d With never-before-published photos and behind-the-scenes insights from Astley, the book offers a deeper look into both the projects the magazine covers and AD itself. Published by Rizzoli, AD at Home is available online<\/a> and in stores<\/a> and includes 69 homes, with a foreword by Anna Wintour.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"AD at Home is available now.
