When I posted the gorgeous home of
Pamela Skaist-Levy, one of the founders of Juicy Couture, last year, a reader asked if there were any photos of her partner, Gela Nash-Taylor's home. I couldn't find any at the time which was probably because they were being saved for
Vogue. The September 2009 issue has a feature on the English country manor she shares with her husband, John Taylor or Duran Duran, and their family and friends. The bathroom above is one of my favorite photos from the spread by photographer Francois Halard.
Editor-in-Chief, Anna Wintour is also hosting the premier party for
The September Issue documentary this Wednesday night. For those of us not lucky enough to be invited, the film opens in New York August 28th and elsewhere on September 11th. While Tom Ford makes his directorial debut at the Venice Film Festival also on September 11th with his first film,
A Single Man, based on the Christopher Isherwood novel. Looks like it's going to be a very fashionable fall!
I really enjoyed taking some time off this weekend to enjoy the American Fourth of July holiday. What's funny is that there would be no America without the British so I figured why not post a fabulous English manor home today. Also, if you watched Wimbeldon for the last fortnight, you know the weather in England in summer can actually be quite lovely. This wonderful home in Wiltshire belongs to Juicy Couture co-founder Gela Nash-Taylor and her husband, Duran Duran bassist John Taylor, and their family. As an American, I'm always fascinated by English homes since they contain so much history and from the article in Vogue, it sounds like Gela really enjoys her country retreat. I mean, who wouldn't love dressing up in the tweeds for a ride straight out of Gosford Park. I think I might add a manor house to my dream list of future homes. Cheers!
