The Beautiful Fall by Alicia Drake


This book is about Karl Lagerfeld, Yves Saint Laurent and 'glorious excess in 1970s Paris¨The book goes through fashion from the 50s through Yves and Karl's journey, to changes in the fashion world in the 80s and 90s. It details the people who they hung out with, their career and the atmosphere of the fashion world in that period.
As someone who hasn't studied fashion and knew nothing about its history, this book really gives you a glimpse of what the fashion world was like back then.
