Offered is a 1988 1st edition, 1st printing of "Draper Touch The High Life And High Style Of Dorothy Draper", by Carleton Varney. Designer and interior decorator Dorothy Draper’s color-filled life story is one of high society, money, gossip, and throughout it all, reinvention. Carleton Varney has owned and directed Dorothy Draper & Company, Inc., for almost 60 years. He worked with Mrs. Draper at the end of her illustrious career, and wrote the only biography of her life, The Draper Touch: The High Life and High Style of Dorothy Draper, in 1988. In the book, Varney sets the scene and defines the milieu that Draper was born into in 1889 and from
which she escaped to become one of America’s leaders in design—a true visionary entrepreneur. This beautiful tome reveals Draper’s fascinating journey and the real stories behind her ground-breaking work.
