The Beautiful Fall

For anyone interested in the history and rivalry between 2 of fashion’s most iconic designers, Karl Lagerfeld and Yves Saint Laurent, then The Beautiful Fall: Lagerfeld, Saint Laurent and Glorious Excess in 1970’s Paris is a must read!  The book is full of juicy gossip and all the stuff that makes reality fashion shows like Project Runway so alluring: egomaniacs, depravity, and of course back-stabbing.

    Love this book—one of my all time favorites. Nothing like an expose on the Gods of fashion.

    One of my favorites as well! Now I’m patiently waiting for someone brave enough to make a movie out of it :)
