Lenny! Dakota! Marc! Our New Book Goes Behind the Scenes of AD's Most Iconic Home Tours

"Long time readers of AD might have noticed a shift in 2016. As Anna Wintour, global editorial director of Vogue and global chief content officer of Condé Nast, describes it, the homes and rooms that graced the glossy pages "were somehow more lived in, more human-scaled. Not everything had to be so perfectly in its place." That perceptible swing-characterized by personality, warmth, and settled approachability-coincided with Amy Astley's appointment as our head of editorial content."

"AD at Home (Rizzoli), our new book, chronicles that journey. Spread across nearly 500 pages, the tome revisits a collection of exceptional tours published during Astley's nearly decade-long tenure. From Marc Jacobs's Greenwich Village town house (the first cover under her leadership) to Troye Sivan's Melbourne home ("Troye's knowledge, sophistication, and passion for design are beyond his years," Astley notes in the book), the collection showcases the best of her vision for the magazine."

"It's full of creative tastemakers who flex their talents across a kaleidoscope of industries including art, music, film, fashion, and, of course, design. This includes reader favorites like Lenny Kravitz, Dakota Johnson, and more. "Fascinating people at home. This was my vision when I joined Architectural Digest," Astley writes in the book's editor's letter. "Creatives of every type loomed large in my mind for an AD fizzing with ideas and inspiration on how to live now.""

A 500-page collection revisits 69 exceptional interior tours curated during Amy Astley's nearly decade-long tenure, emphasizing lived-in, human-scaled rooms introduced around 2016. Featured residences span Marc Jacobs's Greenwich Village townhouse to Troye Sivan's Melbourne home, plus spaces by creatives including Lenny Kravitz and Dakota Johnson. The collection foregrounds personality, warmth, and approachability in design and includes never-before-published photographs and behind-the-scenes insights from Astley. A foreword by Anna Wintour contextualizes the editorial shift. Published by Rizzoli, the collection is available online and in stores and showcases how contemporary creatives live now across art, music, film, fashion, and design.
