Love: The Real Stars of 'Gatsby'...

...were the sets and costumes! The Twenties were always my favorite period for clothing; men never looked so good (a point which Ralph Lauren makes repeatedly). There is a scene that the chesterfield sofa about steals from the actors and I predict a renewed interest in this iconic style. The first leather sofa with the deeply buttoned upholstery was commissioned by Phillip Stanhope, the 4th Earl of Chesterfield (1694-1773)....most likely an unintentional legacy, but many thanks for giving us a proper backdrop for brandy and cigars...

Classic English men's club vibe

A bit more comfort with a box cushion seat

Beautiful fabric highs and lows when done in velvet

Chesterfield is now shorthand for deeply tufted upholstery

Just looks so right here

Would love to see this feminine frame covered in a vibrant glen- plaid fabric
