I actually checked this book out from our wonderful library, and I kept it for a couple weeks just because how gorgeous the photographs are and how amazing Patrick Demarchelier photos compliment Dior. I think it makes the perfect coffee table book, I'm thinking about actually putting the money down to have it. Inspiring.

GORGEOUS photographs. This is much more than a frivolous coffee table book. Expensive but worth it, in my opinion.

This is a gorgeous book both inside and out. It is by far my favorite coffee table book. The cover is a beautiful black and white photo, that would fit into pretty much any home. The inside is filled with just as amazing photos in both black and white as well as color.
