Reviews
"A celebration of the state as much as its rich and diverse people. From it natural beauty to such pacesetters as Governor Gavin Newsom, politicians Willie Brown and Jackie Speier, and actor Kirsten Dunst, this hefty tome is packed with all the things that make California, despite the fires, earthquakes and entrapping freeways, the stuff of dreams." -INDULGEMAGAZINE.COM
"[Suppes and Aranda] say that what most attracted them to the subject was the diversity of the state - geographically, culturally and in terms of the population. For both, elegance in California is also about the bounty the state has to offer because of its multiplicities." -SAN FRANCISCO CHRONICLE
"Christine Suppes and Frederic Aranda spotlight the Golden State's diversity and sublime beauty in their stunning new coffee table book, California Elegance." -HAUTE LIVING IN SAN FRANCISCO
