DescriptionReal salutes what the world has to offer. This visually stunning, thought-provoking book is about looking around with awareness, noticing life's quiet details, and knowing that the honesty of time changes everything--from a human face, a family home, or a fragile sampler book of antique lace.
Real is about the agelessness of integrity; appreciating the imperfect; beauty, and our involvement in creating it; acceptance; ancient crafts and craftsmanship; and letting everything age with grace. Illustrated with photographs taken by the author in 27 countries, Real affirms that we are more alike than we sometimes admit--we all have a desire for warmth and love--and that there is dignity in simple things. Author descriptionVictoria Alexander believes that following your instincts leads to contentment. Once a fashion editor for Vogue Australia and Cosmopolitan, an art director and a stylist, she established The Film Business, The Russell Hotel and The Bathers. Pavilion in Sydney. She has completed a Bachelor of Fine Arts (Hons), is a children.s guide at the Art Gallery of New South Wales and creates a range of unique objects for the home, using vintage textiles collected on her travels.
