Between-the-Covers Girl?
“Vera: The Art and Life of an Icon”
by Susan Seid ($35, Abrams)
Like Ralph, Lilly and Gloria, 20th-century
American designer Vera Neumann
once merely required one moniker
thanks to her floral bedding, geometricpattern
wallpaper and abstract scarves.
Her doctrine—that vibrant prints and
sunshine-y hues can light up your style
and your life—powers up this retro coffee
table treat.
