Customer Reviews

Smart, sharp coffee table book

The interviews in the book were originally published in the Independent, the Guardian and Dazed & Confused. They cover a wide range of modern designers and is well-illustrated by the crisply chosen photographs. Particularly nice moments are the interview with Helmut Lang, Vivienne Westwood'sphotographic portrait, and the interview with Paul Smith. Nice to have.
