Amy Butler’s Midwest Modern: A Fresh Design Spirit for the Modern Lifestyle

Description

A complete lifestyle book, encompassing fashion, interiors, and gardens. There’s a lot more to America than just the east and west coasts. Today, innovative American design, in clothing, home decor, even gardening, is emerging from the Midwest. So lay your bicoastal biases aside, and let Amy Butler show you what’s happening in the heartland.

Helping her fans jump start their own creative spark is Butler’s fashion credo, and her approach has won her a huge following. Her “Mid Mod” philosophy neither homespun nor haute couture is as up to the minute as it is firmly rooted in Midwest tradition. Emphasizing simplicity and integrity of craft, Butler is passionate about recycling materials, reinventing vintage looks, and taking joy in the homemade. Her approach – drawing its inspiration from the natural world and the lives of real people – is organic in every sense of the word.
