Six fashion titles that get you in vogue
What’s new, classic and coming soon in fashion books
We consider ourselves to be pretty fashionable at times. And most of that is due to our extensive browsing through the fashion books we have. Here are six titles you should have, to keep up with the fashion world.
Gucci Disturbia
IDEA’s latest publication comes in a beautifully designed cover in the shape of Disturbia. It’s the album of Peter Schlesinger’s Gucci pre-fall campaign, which was inspired by the Giallo-movies of Italian director Dario Argento. Its floral cover reminds us of a classic diary notebook, and the content isn’t that bad either. Limited to only 1000 copies.

When these two join forces we surely have one of our favourite fashion titles of the year. Paolo Roversi’s Dior Images presents the Italian’s best photography for Dior, bundled by Rizzoli in a big, tangible album that exhales Dior’s class in every centimeter. With garments from all era’s of the 70 year history of the French house.
