"Strong interiors usually start with great bones\u2014generously scaled rooms, a graceful floor plan, windows that encourage abundant sunlight, meticulous finishes. Architectural Digest has published countless such examples over the years and will continue to do so; elegant, refined spaces never fail to inspire. This month, though, the projects we found the most intriguing showcase not only great bones, but a bit of edge and eccentricity as well. Home to fashion leaders and design insiders, these residences have in common a clear point of view, a confident use of color and pattern, and a refreshingly fearless sense of style.\n\nOur cover story, for instance, the Manhattan penthouse of fashion power broker Ed Filipowski and Barneys New York CEO Mark Lee, has an unmistakable flair. At once curated and casual\u2014and with a wraparound terrace and 360-degree views\u2014the apartment reflects the owners' urbane sensibilities and remarkably mindful attention to detail. Among the other places we visit are the quirky Paris flat of editor Anne McNally; the historic Pratesi family villa in Tuscany; jewelry maven Elizabeth Locke's Virginia estate; and, back in New York, the pied-\u00E0-terre of designers Richard Lambertson and John Truex.\n\nWhat will you take away from this portfolio? Maybe just a little idiosyncrasy to call your own.\n\n\u2014MARGARET RUSSELL, Editor in Chief\n\n editor@archdigest.com"^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
