The fact that Miles Redd's delightful The Big Book of Chic is 14 years old and is as iconic and loved as the day it was published speaks volumes about the man, his inspirations and work. An alum of John Rosselli and Bunny Williams, perhaps nothing describes Miles, as closely as this brief about his book....

“This is a book about dreams coming true; the curiosities in the rooms I have decorated; and the people, artists, and places that have inspired me. When all is said and done and I am long forgotten, maybe someone will find this book in a dusty library — if such a thing still exists — and glimpse a bit of the pleasure my life has given me. I want them to have the sensation of dancing across an MGM soundstage, silhouetted in a klieg light, because that was my intention with this book, a very personal blend of work and fantasy.”

— Miles Redd, The Big Book of Chic
