It’s a cute book, full of colorful artistic pictures. If I ever wanted to go to Paris with lots of money I’m sure this book will come in handy, otherwise it’s just something to read. Has interesting stories about the designers but doesn’t go into how to dress Parisian if that’s what you’re hoping for. It’s no more than a reference of all the high end boutiques in Paris.
