- 2012, Sibella Court, Nomad: A Global Approach to Interior Style, Chronicle Books, page 196:
- Gypset style is a hybrid of jetsetting (although I prefer globetrotting) and gypsy. I love this look and embrace it regularly. It is forgiving, loose, casual. It’s about collecting fabrics and remnants, carpets and scarves, and draping them on your walls, lamps, beds, floor, and yourself. It is a reflection of a life well traveled and much enjoyed.

- The ‘70s ‘gypset’ look – combining ‘jet set’ with ‘gypsy’ – is globe-trotting, glamorous, luxurious, hedonistic, flamboyant: think floor cushions and incense, artists, rock stars and their entourages, or Talitha Getty posing in shimmering brocade jacket and harem pants on a rooftop in Marrakesh, probably the most quintessentially haute-hippy photograph ever taken.

- Nevertheless, the range of shopping and gastronomy on offer is still remarkable and I fall in love with the gypset fashion, which blends so well with the Californian lifestyle.
