AMY ASTLEY X JAN SHOWERS PHOTOGRAPHY JONATHAN ZIZZO A my Astley, editor in chief of Architectural Digest, divulged the AD code for describing a project editors have scouted: It might be: "Shiny!" Translation: Newwwww. "Deep dish." Lots of wallpaper, fabric, fringe, pilasters. "Loving hands at home." You know. "Wow!" You just made it into the pages of AD! Astley wowed a sold-out crowd of Texas Design Week ticket holders, hosted by the glamorous Jan Showers in her equally glam showroom, where Astley gave an entertaining talk showcasing images from her new book, Architectural Digest at 100: A Century of Style (Abrams). Astley then signed copies, giving guests a chance to chat and pose for selfies. Instagram was humming. With cocktails in hand, a long line formed, snaking through Showers' latest shipment of French antiques.
