The killer detail: the cult book of the perfect fashionista

Hayworth 53369867

Unseemingly, the skinny jeans of Kate Moss, the chignon of Grace Kelly, the wigs of Andy Warhol of the ballerina flats of  BB have entered into the legend. True singularities that hit the bull’s eye and contributed to turn these personalities into real celebs.

Much more than simple fashion anecdotes, this book pinpoints with intelligence and humor the style of these stars through the famous « killer detail». All this backed up by texts, great shots signed by photography legends : Helmut Newton, Robert Mapplethorpe, Jean-Marie Périer…

We like : this bedside table book of all true dfashionista.

The must : a preface signed Azzedine Alia, who has known several of these muses
