Creel and Gow, with Architectural Digest editor in chief Amy Astley,  recently hosted Miguel Flores-Vianna’s signing of his new book “Haute Bohemians.” Gracious hosts Jamie Creel and Christopher Gow welcomed guests for cocktails on the Indian summer night. Later in the evening, the crowd spilled onto East 70th street for an impromptu block party.

Who, exactly, is a haute bohemian?  Leave it to the discriminating, gimlet eye of photographer Miguel Flores-Vianna, who enjoys an international, cult-like following. He has journeyed through four continents to capture an extraordinary group of fashion designers, landscape architects, artists and art historians, potters, and interior designers, where they live—country cottages, beach bungalows, canal-side lofts, and East Village apartments, as well as assorted estancias, châteaux, and palazzi. Some of these spaces are grand, others are modest, but all are original, stylish, charming, and above all authentic, in the sense that they reflect their owners’ care and taste.

Guests in attendance included: Blaine Trump, Aerin Lauder, Karyn Zucker, Dana Creel, Eleanor Dejoux, Gillian Miniter, Blair Voltz Clarke, Marina Rust, Lauren DuPont, Lisa Jackson, Helen Schifter, Kathryn Brian, Cece Cord, Rachel Hovnanian, Susan Gutfreund, Ellen Niven, Chesie Breen, David Netto, Pietro Cicognani, Michael Smith, David Kleinberg, Brian Sawyer, Frank De Biasi, Tony Freund, Nathan Turner, Charlotte Moss, Daniel Romualdez, and Marcos Scarani.
