À La Mode
The fashion and jewellery worlds are driven by creative minds. Fashion labels are so often eponymous, signifying the singular vision of their founder. Our short list ‘À La Mode’ brings together 22 rare and fine books on fashion and jewellery, the majority being dedicated to a single designer.
The list includes books on Yves Saint Laurent, Chanel, Givenchy, Halston, Oscar de la Renta, Madeleine Vionnet, Hussein Chalayan, Yohji Yamamoto, Pucci, Fortuny, Line Vautrin, Robert Goossens, and Andrew Grima. Cecil Beaton and Diana Vreeland provide the commentary.
