Lisa Fine grew up in Hattiesburg, Mississippi where her family owned department stores. She describes herself as very influenced by color. In both interior design and in fashion design, she never likes the obvious, or things that look contrived or too matched – there always needs to be something a bit off. Sometimes the accessory or piece of furniture she loves the most is the most unexpected but makes the strongest design impact. Travel is Lisa’s passion and greatest inspiration. Every year she tries to go to at least one new Indian city in search of new textiles, embroideries and crafts. Calcutta and Hyderabad are two of her more recent favorite cities.

NEAR & FAR

In Near & Far, Lisa Fine invites us into her homes in Dallas, New York, and Paris and then takes us along as she visits the places and people who have been her greatest sources of inspiration. Among her favored treasures are the Mughal palaces and gardens of India, the 18th-century home of Carl Linnaeus in Sweden, the whitewashed retreat of interior designer John Stefanidis on Patmos, the idyllic country house and garden of London-based designer Penny Morrison, and the storied house in the Tangier Casbah belonging to collectors Jamie Creel and Marco Scarani. Evocatively photographed by Miguel Flores-Vianna and with a foreword by style editor Deborah Needleman, Near & Far not only provides a trove of design ideas, but also offers advice for anyone interested in giving full expression to their personal style.
