FALL 2021 WWW.POINTEDLEAFPRESS.COM CATEGORY CATEGORY 2 3 FROM THE PUBLISHER A NOTE FROM THE PUBLISHER SUZANNE SLESIN It gives me great pleasure to present the new Pointed Leaf Press catalog for Fall 2021. For all of us, it has been a challenging 18 months, and so, more than ever, I am grateful for the continued support of our extraordinarily loyal team, our authors, and all the people who have, in spite of many demanding circumstances, managed to help us get our books out into the world. We are especially grateful to our readers, who continue to appreciate what we set out to do when I founded the company in 2002. Pointed Leaf Press has grown to become one of the top—and award winning—publishers of illustrated books in the worlds of interior design, fashion, art, and photography. As a former art historian, and after more than 35 years as a journalist, editor, and reporter at such publications as the New York Times, as well as at numerous magazines, including New York, Esquire, and House & Garden, I continue to be fascinated by the careers and accomplishments—as well as the intimate and powerful stories—of the talented people in the creative fields that are so influential and essential to the world in which we live. At Pointed Leaf Press, I work closely with our team to ensure that each of our books is designed, produced, and edited to the highest standards. Each of our titles is individualistic and created to suit the needs and aspirations of its author—whether to feature the work of top interiors and garden designers and architects or to reintroduce the work of legendary photographers. Collecting, a lifelong passion, is another focus of many of our books, offering a glimpse into subjects that are both original and stimulating. This season, two of our new titles seem particularly appropriate as the world is opening up: Jiun Ho: Experience will, without a doubt, get you out of the house with a desire for traveling to exotic places and thinking about how a designer’s inspirations for his furniture, lighting, and textile designs are translated from his life experiences. Dual Nature, by Jane Rosen , is the first monograph on the artist’s work—a document of her travels from the East Coast to the West Coast and back again—voyages that coalesced in meticulously crafted and beautiful works. I am particularly proud that many of our custom books have not only been successful in the marketplace, but also serve as efficient marketing and branding tools for their authors. I hope you will reach out to me personally, visit our website, interact with us through social media, and continue to value the illustrated book as one of the most vital and important cultural elements of our time. 4 5 SOCIAL MEDIA CONTENTS POINTED LEAF PRESS BOOKS FASHION BY CATEGORY 38 SUPER F**CKING LUCKY 23 OUTSIDE THE BOX BY DAVID SCOTT For an alphabetical index of books by title, please see page 75 BY NATASHA FRASER-CAVASSONI 24 CURTAIN UP!
