Lovely book .
This is a lovely book for anyone interested in fashion or illustration. Beautiful illustrations , informative piece on each designer . Lovely gold edging on the book. The only fault is I thought it would be a little larger, I didn't check the dimensions but the size is very handy .

“Elegance” by Megan Hess = Another Fashionista’s French Treat!
I am a serious collector of Megan Hess’ fashion illustration books. She is a iconic in fashion illustration and I have 6 of her books proudly displayed in my glass bookcase! “Elegance: The Beauty of French Fashion” is an amazing addition to the other books I treasure. She has taken ten famous French Fashion Houses, illustrated the fashions they are famous for producing, the historical designs that put each house on the map and has also researched and written about each fashion house and the legendary designers behind them. This volume contains the following designers : Chanel (buy her book “Coco Chanel” for more information on the fashionista herself), Dior, Saint Laurent, Lanvin, Givenchy, Chloe, Balmain, Louis Vuitton, Hermès and Celine. Each picture is divine and is worth every penny if you love France, wish you were a Paris Fashionista, love Fashion History, Art History or are a wannabe Francophile, this is your book! Thank you Megan for another lovely
