Product Description A white-walled city perched between Morocco and Europe, Tangier was long a haven for the literary and artistic avant-garde – and black sheep – of Europe and America. Now a new generation of residents are blending color, pattern, and taste to create an interior aesthetic all their own. Inside Tangier explores a selection of these exceptional properties and their eccentric inhabitants – from antiques dealer and collector Gordon Watson and cook and artist Soufian Lezaar to the late fashion designer Yves Saint Laurent and antiques dealer Christopher Gibbs – providing rare insights into the sometimes bohemian, sometimes extravagant, but always stylish “Tangerine” lifestyle. Review "It's the Moroccan city that has long attracted a bohemian class of folk from Europe and America. . . . This volume looks at some of the city's more recent inhabitants. . . . Readers learn fast while the city remains alluring." --Milieu "An enthralling new book looks inside the most stylish homes of Tangier." --VOGUE.com
