With over 700 pages, this book is a fascinating insight into the creative process of the fashion house. It gives a start-to-finish insightof the advertising campaigns, the partnerships with the world's biggest photographers, artists, architects and film directors. Plus, it includes comprehensive coverage of the fashion collections, with collages of the most influential shoes and bags - un-put-downable!
