Nice little book. It gives a good insight into Schiaparelli’s life from the very beginning of her design career. I’m now interested to read her autobiography to find out more about Elsa’s life. Book has a protective cover which has a more plain graphic on the hardback. There is a fair amount of clear images inside and would be a great for decor as well. Overall really happy!

From the Publisher
Discover the work of one of history's most influential and eccentric couturiers.
Endowed with a strikingly imaginative and experimental approach to fashion, Elsa Schiaparelli cultivated a combination of the witty and the surreal, the cutting edge and the elegant, from her garments and jewellery to her collaborations with Salvador Dalí, Jean Cocteau and Alberto Giacometti.
Exquisitely illustrated and expertly written, the book follows a biographical chronology detailing her life, career and primary creative themes of her work. Images of Schiaparelli's finished designs, along with close-up details and illustrations of her personal sketches, showcase the brilliance of her innovative oeuvre, and the legacy that lives on in the House of Schiaparelli to this day.

Nice
I was expecting these two books to be a little bigger, but they look nice on the coffee table.
