More is More!! Nothing says more, more and more than Tony Duquette. The new book that can be preordered now at Amazon should be quite an over-the-top feast for the eyes. 
American artist and design legend Tony Duquette (1914-1999) was known for his over-the-top style in interiors, jewelry, costumes, and set design. His clients included Elizabeth Arden, the Duchess of Windsor, and Herb Alpert. (This image and the following are from the Tony Duqette's previous book called Tony Duquette)
The multi-talented Duquette designed sets for MGM musicals with Arthur Freed and Vincente Minnelli, and designed Tony Award-winning costumes for the original Broadway production of Camelot. Duquette was the first American to exhibit a one-man show at the Louvre in Paris.
I can't wait to get my hot little hands on this new book.
What do you think of Tony Duquette's style?

I've wanted to acquire one of his book for a while now! I very much like his style and aesthetic, he's eccentric and egdy... the perfect combo!
Oh a must on my list. I LOVE everything about Tony Duquette, and, even though I was hugely eight and a half months pregnant, went to the Christies sale of much of his estate in LA 9 years ago...it was truly inspiring and COOL to see his work in close proximity.
Thanks for sharing!

I do like his style! So exotic. Some properties would be perfect for his style. Mine wouldn't a little English cottage would not do it!
