Excellent book: design, clothing chosen to be portrayed, everything. Published in conjunction with an exhibit, I really loved it all: the way some of the clothing was juxtaposed with art, or with flowers, or with hardware (it makes sense when you see it). Brief biographies of the three designers were very interesting, and of course, I appreciated the coverage of the divine Audrey Hepburn. Very well done. Now get me to Paris so I can view the exhibition!
