A fashion-savvy home decorating magazine for the new generation of design professionals and consumers who know exactly what they want, ELLE DECOR covers fashionable and inspirational products that bring couture chic to every room of your home.
WHAT’S YOUR INTERIORS MODE? ARE YOU A FAN OF monastically simple architecture? Or do you go for traditional, perhaps with a little kick in the chintz? No matter what your preference, the homes in our September issue offer up a little bit of something for everyone. Every feature is a reminder that true style—both in how you decorate and in how you dress—is informed by interests that go way beyond the realms of design and fashion. A case in point is the home on our cover, a London row house transformed by the ELLE DECOR A-List designer Miminat Shodeinde. The talented Brit deftly found a middle ground for her clients, a couple with disparate tastes. One person loves clean lines, while the other has an interest in science fiction (you’ll…

Last spring, Bulgari celebrated its 140th anniversary with the unveiling of Aeterna, a collection of more than 500 design masterpieces. Choice among them is the Serpenti Sapphire Echo necklace, fashioned in white gold and featuring dual 37-carat, pear-cut Sri Lankan sapphires plucked from an archival piece from the 1930s. Here, the vivid blue gems are suspended as pendants and attached to each serpent head by a round-cut diamond. In a twist as functional as it is fashionable, the sapphires can also be worn separately as a pair of earrings, allowing the graceful drape of Bulgari’s iconic snake motif to take center stage.…
For the past several years, the timepiece designers at Hermès have been at a creative high. First, there was the hit H08 released in 2021, a 39mm sport watch with a unique aesthetic and chic, rounded numerals that no one saw coming. This year, the French luxury house released the Cut, a companion model in stainless steel or two-tone steel and rose gold created with women in mind, though its 36mm diameter suits most wrists. The round bezel and dial lend it familiarity and legibility, while a choice of a metal bracelet or various colorful rubber straps makes the piece as versatile as it is novel. This watch is proof that pushing the envelope can have its rewards.…
His name may be synonymous with all-American luxury and style, but Ralph Lauren knows how to dazzle in any language. The designer’s Milan headquarters is in an opulent Rationalist palazzo with the ambience of a private club (and some of the best martinis in town). This was the enchanting backdrop last spring when Ralph Lauren Home unveiled its latest collection, Modern Driver, during Milan Design Week. A vintage Jaguar convertible greeted guests in the courtyard, and upstairs the new furniture—arriving in stores this fall—was presented in mahogany-paneled rooms reminiscent of the designer’s own Manhattan office. In addition to being an ultimate arbiter of fashion and home style, Lauren is famously one of the world’s top car collectors. His enviable trove, which has been the subject of several museum exhibitions, is…
AS THE CREATOR OF THE BRITISH FASHION BRAND House of Holland, designer Henry Holland is known as a party kid turned pattern prince. But during the pandemic, he sold his label, signed up for ceramics classes, and discovered his love of clay. Soon after, he launched a line of ceramics under a new brand, Henry Holland Studio. “I’m a self-taught fashion designer and learned it all on the job,” says Holland, whose now thriving pottery workshop is based in London’s East End. “That’s really what I love: learning.” His homewares empire has expanded into everything from glassware to home fragrance. This month he debuts his latest project: a line of fabrics and wallpapers for Harlequin, a brand run by Sanderson Design Group. Collaborating with the classic British textiles house was…
