This is really just one essay by Mark Holborn but because it's about fashion, the physical book must be larger than an average human head for some reason. I really enjoy work that compares two artists (this is similar to the Met's Schiaparelli & Prada book). Mark Holborn's analysis of Miyake's fashion in relation to the body was pretty cool. Beautiful photography by Irving Penn too.
