Review: Good coffee table book - Nice and presentable coffee table book. Goes well with my other Vogue series on my bookshelf. A good account of the grandmaster of fashion and how he defined the ‘new look’ era - a look that still looks elegant in modern day. Helps us understand the genesis of fashion industry in post war period and how it has evolved over time. Review: Small but beautiful. Good size for me - not pocket sized ... - Small but beautiful. Good size for me - not pocket sized at around 17cm x 22cm but small enough to hold and read easily. Well written and illustrated and as I am a long term fan of both Dior and Vogue, I love it. Nice quality feel. I will probably go on to read the rest in the series.
