Big Fashion Books

I love big glossy books that take up far too much room and give off an impression of intelligence. Not only this, they're a great dust magnet and give your cleaning lady more purpose in her otherwise dull life.

Without a doubt, my favorite is...

Tom Ford by Tom Ford
Need I say more? The guys is a fashion genius and always looks like he just stepped off a movie set. His 300+ page book focuses on his work with Gucci and YSL and steps through his 10 year reign as their brands creative director. Definitely one to have!!! Buy it here

Others which are definitely worth a look are:
