Christopher Q. ★★★★★

The close-up photos of the couture pieces are stunning—you can actually see the stitching and fabric texture on nearly every page. As a second volume it holds up on its own, though now I want the first one too.

Lucy ★★★★★

Didn't expect the paper quality to be this good, honestly—the full-page photos of those couture pieces feel almost like prints you'd frame. It's a hefty volume, so it's strictly a coffee-table book rather than something to read in bed.

William L. ★★★★★

The full-page photos of the couture pieces are stunning, and having the second volume finally complete the set on my shelf feels great. It's a heavy, substantial book, so plan for a sturdy coffee table rather than a crowded shelf.
