If there was ever a patron saint for the art of bravado, the title would undoubtedly befall Florence Broadhurst .

Best known for her flamboyant wallpaper designs, the legacy left by this brazen broad can be seen in every upstart designer and fine lined new bar in Sydney. Stella McCartney, Marc Jacobs, Carly Simon and Madonna’s choreographer all have a piece of Broadhurst. But she was more than wallpaper. She was also master masquerader, chanteuse, writer, painter, courtier, trucking magnate, aristocratic impersonator and darling of the high-end social set.

This exquisite volume showcases Broadhurst's popular and never-before-published designs, and paints an important portrait of one of Australia's most fascinating identities.
