It is a brilliant book but I wish it came with photos. Vogue runway doesn’t have all the shows mentioned and I spent too much time looking up photos that matched the description which took away from the reading experience. When she describes all the brilliant decor and clothes and techniques, the descriptions are accurate once you open up the images. However, it is impossible to conjure up in your head the brilliance of Galliano and McQueen with mere words.
No shade on Dana Thomas, she is a brilliant writer. I hope a version of this book comes out with pictures, I’d buy that again.
