Lynn Wyatt

Beautiful, witty, charming, entertaining, lively, and loyal-all words that describe Lynn Wyatt, an extraordinary woman who is fiercely dedicated to family, friends, philanthropy, arts, and fashion. Lynn Wyatt is a treasure trove of beautiful photographs, letters, and memorabilia celebrating her life, style, and philanthropic endeavors. An International Best-Dressed inductee, Lynn is a true tastemaker who continues to influence fashion. She donned the made-to-measure creations of Coco Chanel, Karl Lagerfeld, and Tory Burch. Lynn's philanthropy to the arts was commemorated by the naming of "Lynn Wyatt Square for the Performing Arts" by the city of Houston. Celebrated for her kindness and personal style, Lynn, dubbed "Sister Style" by Elton John, transcends many glamorous eras and continues to be an enduring figure of taste and style. The Times once declared that Lynn is a woman who knows everyone, and she is the first to acknowledge the joy of friendship. For the hostess extraordinaire, it is not about who she knows, but rather, the meaningful relationships that lend importance to life. Read about her lasting friendships with Princess Grace, Prince Albert of Monaco, and Truman Capote; dancing at Studio 54; parties at Andy Warhol's Factory; and invitations to the White House from Presidents Nixon, Carter, Reagan, and Clinton. She has been a genuine influence in America's cultural landscape. Among her many other fans and friends, readers will be delighted by stories of Lynn and Sarah Ferguson, Duchess of York, Valentino, Oscar de la Renta, Liza Minnelli, John Travolta, Diane von Furstenberg, Carolina Herrera, Shirley MacLaine, Zac Posen, and Graydon Carter. The cover is a portrait of Lynn Wyatt by Andy Warhol, and in the pages of Lynn Wyatt, readers can see her incredible life captured by such legends as Slim Aarons, Andy Warhol, Helmut Newton, and Norman Parkinson. Through beautiful photography, this book explores her continuing influence in the spheres of art, society, fashion, and philanthropy.
