Kaffe Fassett

Kaffe Fassett has led an extraordinary life and is a captivating storyteller with a vivid memory. Born in 1937, he spent much of his youth in Big Sur, California, where his parents bought a cabin from Orson Welles and transformed it into the world-famous Nepenthe restaurant, a gathering place for artists and bohemians. After attending a boarding school run by the disciples of Krishnamurti, an Indian guru, he studied painting at the School of the Museum of Fine Arts in Boston, then traveled to England, where he made his home. After an inspiring trip to Inverness, Scotland, Fassett began designing knitwear for Bill Gibb, and then the Missonis, Vogue magazine, and private clients like Lauren Bacall and Barbra Streisand, and, in the process, revolutionized the handknitting world with his explosive use of color. Further explorations led him to needlepoint, mosaics, rugmaking, tapestries, yarn and fabric design, costume and set design, and quilting. Now in his seventies, Fassett continues to produce new work and to travel worldwide to teach and lecture. In this intimate autobiography, Fassett shares rich, detailed stories about his lifelong creative journey as well as hundreds of glorious photos taken along the way.

The Road Less Worn - How To Be...

Erin Flynn

Staring at the 450 pieces of clothing littering her bedroom, Erin Flynn couldn’t help but wonder, “How did I end up here?” 
In her debut memoir The Road Less Worn, Flynn sorts through snapshots of her life—from her roots as an athlete in a small Midwest town to her career as an entrepreneur and author—discovering that much of what she held onto, both in her wardrobe and life, was never truly her own. 
As the founder of Cladwell, the leading daily outfit and smart closet app, Flynn knows wardrobes mirror how culture quietly shapes us. But when she created her own capsule wardrobe, she didn’t just declutter her closet—she began decluttering the stories she carried about success, identity, and who she was supposed to be. 
The Road Less Worn invites readers to do the same, letting go of what no longer fits to uncover what is truly theirs.
