Pierre Le Tan - Hardback
£20.99
Cleo Le-Tan is a London born, New York based author who has always loved books. Born into an artistic family of obsessive collectors, she grew up surrounded by books. She published her first novel Une Famille with Grasset in 2013. Since then, she moved to New York and has been carefully exploring all the literary hideouts and secrets of the city, hoping to put them all together in a compelling journal-like collaboration she is working on with the visual help of her father. Pierre Le-Tan is a well-respected artist, interior decorator, illustrator and art collector. He rose to prominence in the early 70s when he drew covers for the New Yorker at the young age of 19. Since then, he has had multiple art exhibits all around the world, decorated restaurants, hotels, film sets and has written dozens of books. He lives in Paris, surrounded by hundreds and hundreds (if not thousands) of books, rare artwork and all kinds of bizarre objects. Olympia Le-Tan is a self-taught fashion designer. She started her career at the Chanel design studio with Karl Lagerfeld. In March 2012, she launched her first ready-to-wear collection classic clothes with a twist, a mix between her British and Parisian heritage using velvets, tartans, college stripes, and Liberty print fabrics.
