This handsome, eye-catching ode to the classic rowing blazer is a must-have for anyone who has raced the rivers or cheered on their favourite crew. Classic American style was born in British boathouses, where the very first blazers were created for college rowing clubs. This book, now revised and expanded, was created by champion rower Jack Carlson, who offers an insider’s guide to the elaborately striped, piped, trimmed, and badged garments, as well as the stories, historic clubs, and races associated with them, and of course the elite athletes themselves. Featuring stunning photographs, Rowing Blazers is a visual feast, transporting readers to the highly atmospheric boathouses, campuses, and team rooms of clubs around the world. The new edition features some 40 additional clubs, including the University of Tokyo, the Shanghai Rowing Club, Row New York, a nonprofit organization stressing academic achievement as well as rowing prowess, and Manley Career Academy High School in Chicago, the first all-Black high school rowing team in the US.

Founded by Emily Todhunter and Kate Earle in 1998 and based in Chelsea, London, the design studio Todhunter Earle is renowned for creating beautiful, sensitively considered interiors around the world. With a hugely diverse mix of projects, ranging from traditional country estates and uber-contemporary town houses to ski chalets, yachts, boutique hotels, and fashionable restaurants, one key element remains constant: their commitment to imbuing interiors with passion, dedication, and sensibility to place. Here, 18 projects showcase their extraordinarily varied catalogue of work, revealing the pivotal factors and challenges encountered on each design journey.

Divided into three main sections – Town, Country, and Abroad – the book includes overviews of each project, revealing the pivotal factors and challenges encountered on the design journey. It encapsulates Todhunter Earle’s instinctive approach: relaxed, unpretentious, and discreet interiors that whisper rather than shout, each one embodying the right feel for their clients. Including original photography from the studio’s own archives plus specially commissioned concept illustrations by renowned watercolorist Marianne Topham, Modern English Interiors is an inspirational book to be treasured by design enthusiasts and fellow professionals alike.
