Book Description

November 27, 2004
Say the word "Hollywood" and glamorous, sparkling, lavish images come to mind. In Hollywood Style, bestselling design and style author Diane Dorrans Saeks takes readers on a magical insider's tour of some of the most beautiful and alluring private houses, classic residences, and historic hotels Hollywood has to offer. Behind the clipped hedges, immaculate gardens, and locked doors of these palm-punctuated neighborhoods are the residences of some of the most famous movie stars and musicians in the world, designed by such star architects as Frank Lloyd Wright, Paul Williams, R. M. Schindler, and Richard Neutra.
While these inspiring interiors offer opulence, they also feature witty design creativity, inventive architecture, and a chic sensibility that are a welcome respite from the razzle-dazzle of Hollywood. These are interiors that are created with not only elegance but a sense of fun. Each one is lived in and loved. Each one is beautiful yet completely original.
With pictures by a selection of Hollywood's top photographers, these pages display an insider's look at the personal style of culture's most influential trendsetters. An exciting and inspiring look at glamour behind the scenes, Hollywood Style is a stunning tribute to exuberant style in all its decadence.

5.0 out of 5 stars A delightful surprise, April 16, 2011
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Hollywood Style (Hardcover)
I bought "Hollywood Style" because I loved the author's earlier book on California cottages, and had enjoyed reading her work in the SF Chronicle years ago. This book delighted me because it's not at all what one would expect. The homes are lovely, luxurious but liveable. Many are positively modest by current standards. What they have in common is exquisite taste. I especially enjoyed seeing Rose Tarlow's home (and have now ordered her book too). This is a thoughtful, handsomely produced book with marvelous photos.

2.0 out of 5 stars Not up to expectations, February 19, 2007
This review is from: Hollywood Style (Hardcover)
If you're a subscriber to Elle Decor (US); the majority of the homes featured are plucked from Elle Decor as well as Michael S. Smith's book Element of Style. I was totally disappointed as I expected more.

4.0 out of 5 stars so perfect and idyllic, September 28, 2006
This review is from: Hollywood Style (Hardcover)
Even if you do not particularly follow the Hollywood film star scene, this book offers a fascinating glimpse at some unique houses in Los Angeles. Mostly in Hollywood and the nearby suburbs. Each house also has a perfectly manicured garden, often with a pool.

The styles vary widely. As Saeks relates, several houses were designed by famous architects, like Schindler or Neutra. Everything seems so perfect and idyllic in the photos. Some houses, up in the hills, also have fantastic views of Los Angeles.

The book shows that enough money can on occasion purchase the utmost in style.
