Slipcover Saturday. Since the recent arrival of “Mario Buatta: Anatomy of a Decorator,” Emily Evans Eerdmans’ new book on Mario Buatta, I seem to be running across more reminders of the late decorator than ever before. Today was no exception. While looking through an old issue of New York magazine, I saw this “slipcover” he had created by stapling fabric (Carleton V.’s “Régine”) and ric-rac to a chair in his living room. Looking at it, I can’t help thinking about how messy it might look after one sitting, but I digress. In this same issue, Mr. Buatta was also described as being on the New York Times list of “the most wanted extra men.” Please swipe left to see that. Photograph 1 by Armen Kachaturian; 2 from “W”; both appeared in the April 28, 1975 issue of New York. #mariobuatta #slipcoversaturday #emilyevanseerdmans #buatta #carletonv #newyorkmagazine #armenkachaturian
