About this title

About the Author

Brini Maxwell makes kitsch feel classy through her unparalleled personal flair for home design, entertaining, and savvy household tips. Inspired by a divine thrift shop purchase of 1950s nesting bowls, she first began sharing her retro/classic know-how with others in 1998 through her self-titled public access show. With an emphasis on uncompromising fabulousness, Brini quickly garnered a devoted fan base and established herself as the go-to-girl on vintage fashion and mid-century modern treasures. After five years on the local airwaves, Brini went national with a new show on the Style Network. In addition to her television show, Brini has also shared her wealth of knowledge and love of the late '50s, '60s, and early '70s in numerous media interviews, which have included CNN, MSNBC, ABC's World News Now, E! Entertainment Television, The Learning Channel, and Late Night with Conan O'Brien. Brini continues to reside in the quaint Chelsea apartment that once served as the studio for her famed cable access show.
