haute couture

Fast shipping, beautiful book.

very lovely photos which show the intricacies of haute couture

no problem with the writing as some folks suggest. it is a beautiful book.

This collection from the Met is lovely. Although I agree that the text could be more laudable; I think the book ,overall, is a gem. The photos are lovely and there are close-ups of several techniques. Definitely a worthwhile book.

I suspect that in something other than the kindle format, my experience could have been much different, but the kindle formatting made it impossible to enjoy. The page headings are in portrait, but all the text and photos are locked into landscape. Unless you wanted your text and photos sideways, the only way to read it is to turn off your auto rotate and rhold it in landscape view. But when you do, every single photo and accompanying caption is cut in half. The text is so tiny that you have to zoom in to read it, chopping the photo into even smaller segments. I was unable to view a single one of the garments in its entirety.I wanted to love this, but the frustration of trying to read it made it impossible.
