The Fashionable Selby
Words by Yatzer
Location
In 2008, when NY-based photographer Todd Selby launched his website hosting photos shot of his friends in their own homes, it soon became so popular and influential that gradually more and more followers asked to become part of The Selby Is in Your Place project. A book soon followed, the first in a series of best-selling publications featuring profiles of the world’s most influential and inspiring people, surrounded by the things that are part of their everyday life. The latest book, the Fashionable Selby , in what has come to be known as The Selby series, hit bookshops worldwide in March 2014, and is an exploration of our present-day fashion’s trend-setters, emerging talent and underground artists and designers. With 500 photographs and Selby’s signature watercolours along with hand-written comments and notes, the book has a highly personal feel to it as it leads readers into contemporary fashion’s most intimate and exclusive locations, in other words, the private homes and studios of the people that are at the forefront of today’s booming fashion industry.
