FRiENDS of the family

摘要

Over the course ofher celebrated career as a supermodel, wellness warrior, entrepreneur, and mother of two, Elle Macpherson has orchestrated the design and construction of numerous houses in the U.S. and abroad, often in collaboration with some of the world's foremost interior-design talents. For her latest home, close to her younger son's school in Florida, the Australian- born beauty decided to take a far different approach than her previous efforts. "This time, it wasn't about developing a million different schemes, with lots of custom-built furniture or profound investments, and then deciding which one to pursue," she explains. "This feels more modern, adopting a sustainable approach to design—taking the best of what you already have and repurposing it for a new life." Fortunately for Macpherson, that criterion—the best of what she has—applies to a trove of artworks by Andy Warhol, Jean-Michel Basquiat, Richard Prince, Keith Haring, Kenny Scharf, Lucian Freud, Damien Hirst, and other titans of 20th- and 21st-century art; a photography collection, assembled over many years with the help of Hamiltons Gallery in London, which includes works by Irving Penn, Horst P. Horst, Richard Avedon, and Robert Mapplethorpe; and an ensemble of furnishings with a concentration of exemplary pieces by Jean Royere, Studio Job, and Marc Newson. All in all, not a bad place to start.
