Slim Aarons

I wore this on night one.

And is it kind of Slim Aaron's Palm Beach? Yes.

Were you thinking Palm Beach in Tuscany? I was thinking, yeah.

I mean, I know it's probably not very Italian.

Come on.

I'm going to a wedding that is like Slim Aaron's themed 60s Palm Springs.

Have we figured out your outfit yet? I have for my welcome party.

Oh, that dress that Katie got you? Yes.

Not at all.

And, and I understood that there was a different world that I was fascinated with when Slim Aarons started coming.

He was a really good friend of my mom's, and I would basically ca- you know, carry his bags and, and go look at his shoots, and it was...

I really saw, understood or saw the world of Il Pellicano through Slim's eyes.

And the same thing goes with the book, you know.

We did this book.

When I was doing the research for the interior design, I called Slim Aarons and I said Do you have an, you know, pictures? 'Cause I need to, I wanna reference, um, how it was." And he said, "I sold everything.

The archive is in London." So I came to London, and I went through boxes and boxes and boxes of photographs, and that's when I told my dad, I was like, "We have to do a book." And there, I know he told me later, he was like, "I just thought I was throwing out a chunk of money out of the window, basically, but I wanted to give you confidence." Instead, the book then became kind of the, the game changer that made, brought the Pellicano into the contemporary conversation.
