Howard Slatkin, Fifth Avenue Style: A Designer’s New York Apartment, Thursday, December 12, Coldwell Banker office, 242 Bellevue Avenue, 7 p.m. (RSVP Required to 973-233-2300). In this gorgeously illustrated volume, Slatkin, an interior designer and founder of the iconic home-fragrance and lifestyle brand Slatkin & Co., opens the doors of his legendary Fifth Avenue apartment and invites readers to accompany him on an intimate tour. Along the way he shares his practical—and often ingenious—methods for creating unique, personal rooms, shows how to make them comfortable and functional as well as beautiful, and reveals his secrets to entertaining with ease and flair. The Times said, “Howard Slatkin turned the most basic of boring white box apartments–albeit a huge one–into a masterpiece mansion. His new book, Fifth Avenue Style, captures it all, from early mood boards to details like curtain tiebacks.”
