Description: Sister Parish was, without a doubt, the preeminent American interior designer of the 20th century, and her clients were a roster of American aristocracy. Her brilliant style influenced generations of interior designers, and her firm ParishHadley's list of clients included Rockefellers, Astors, and Whitneys. She is best known to the public at large as the decorator who helped Jacqueline Kennedy turn the White House from a fusty relic of the '50s into an international symbol of American style and elegance. Parish is also credited with inventing the "American Country" look, which was first shown in 1967 when the House and Garden published pictures of her house in Maine. Using Sister Parish's own memoirs as well as hundreds of interviews with world-famous interior designers and glamorous socialites, Sister takes you into the drawing rooms of some of the most famous and powerful people of her time to tell the story of the woman who redefined American design.
