A Life Over The Top

Tony Duquette did everything Big.
Jewelry, interiors and set designs, life...
everything. 

His work expansive, his client list extensive,
his passion for beautiful things...unsuppressed.
With the newest (and most extensive) book, 
Hutton Wilkinson, friend, protege and keeper of the flame,
along with Wendy Goodman (interior design editor genius)
offer up a "lavishly illustrated book with many

 lost and never-before published photographs

 from the Duquette archives, 

including portraits and pictures taken by

 Man Ray, John Engstead, Fredrich Dapriche, 

 as well as original sketches, 

designs, and texts by Duquette himself.

 With commentary, 

interviews, stories, 

and contributions from Liza Minnelli, 

Arlene Dahl, Steven Meisel, Bruce Weber, and others"

Everything he touched became magnificent.

We probably won't do this...
but we can look, learn and enjoy.
