The Selby is another New Zealand blog that I’ve only recently discovered. Created by Todd Selby, the website showcases photographs of creative individuals in their personal spaces. Since its inception in 2008, the blog is now so popular that Selby has acquired quite an impressive resume – including stints working at the New York Times as well as contributions to Paris Vogue and Architectural Digest France. Not bad for a Kiwi huh?
The site shows off the interiors of homes and studios of creatively successful people such as artists, chefs, stylists, boutique owners, fashion designers and creative directors. I’d love to see a blog like this in Vancouver. Not only is The Selby an impressive project in itself, it also acts as a collective archive of local (in its case, New Zealand) success in the creative industries, which is what I think Vancouver needs to do more of – acknowledge and centralize the local scene!!
Below is a selection of my favourite Selby homes >>
Charlotte Rust – stylist and vintage store owner at her home.
Karen Walker – fashion designer and Mikhail Gherman – creative director at their home.
Gibon Bing – artist at his studio.
Erica Wilson – embroidery designer and Vladimir Kagan – furniture designer at their home, New York City.
