Enrica Stabile began her career in fashion, first working for one of Italy's leading textile companies, then setting up her own label. In 1979 she opened her shop L'Utile e il Dilettevole in Milan, combining antiques and interior design in a unique way. The shop is famous for its range of soft furnishings made using vintage and contemporary fabrics, and Enrica, who also studied interior design at London's Inchbald School, has received commissions to decorate country homes throughout Italy and France with her own brand of country style. She has homes in London, Provence, and Milan. (www.enricastabile.com)
