1/5
Advanced Style
Style is not limited to age and that's exactly what Ari Seth set out to do with his glorious Advanced Style tome. Filled with images of glamourous ladies over 60 years dressing impeccably well, the book brings to life what it means to age gracefully.
2/5
Carine Roitfeld Irreverent
Everyone knows Carine Roitfeld as the very definition of effortless Parisian chic. As the former Editor-in-Chief of Vogue Paris, Irreverent covers the entire span of her illustrious and fearless career. Featuring 250 magazine tear sheets and covers from prominent editorial shoots and advertising campaigns, as well as personal visual anecdotes, this book gives an inside look into Roitfeld's creative thought process.
3/5
Monsieur Dior Once Upon A Time
Ever wondered what went on when Christian Dior himself ran the House of Dior? Well now you can take a peek into those 10 fasicnating years of starting small, reaching stardom in the fashion world and eventually expanding his empire.
4/5
The Wes Anderson Collection
Speak of Wes Anderson and you'd immediately know what to expect. If his largely quirky and exceptionally brilliant films are anything to go by then this volume is bound to be just as visually pleasing. Essentially you'll be able to feast on your eyes on unpublished behind-the-scenes photos, artwork and read an introduction by Michael Chabon himself.
5/5
William Helburn: Seventh and Madison
As one of the most lauded after photographers in New York City by top advertising agencies in the 50s and 60s, William Helburn's Seventh and Madison collates just some of his more recognised work - whether it was for cars, cosmetics, Coca Cola, Canada Dry or whiskeys. Most of these images have not been seen since they were first published decades ago
