My Favorite Things

If I had to make a list of things I really love, it would have to include: design, books, and fashion. Well, to celebrate Penguin Classics 60th Anniversary (2006), they asked 5 designers to choose their favorite classic and design a cover for it. The designers chosen for the task were Paul Smith (Lady Chatterley's Lover, DH Lawrence), Manolo Blahnik (Madame Bovary, Flaubert), Ron Arad (The Idiot, Dostoyevsky), Sam Taylor-Wood (Tender is the Night, Fitzgerald) and Fuel (Crime and Punishment, Dostoyevsky). I love this idea, and the mixing of different creative industries.

See the results below in order. And click here for more info on each book and why the designer chose it.






































P.S. I do have lots of inspiration to share from Greece, but am currently sorting through 400 photos. I'll have something posted soon.
