[André Courrèges]
A metallic celebration of André Courrèges and his fashion brand. Courrèges' futuristic fashion designs rocked France in the 1960s, bringing a playful and modern mix of textiles and shapes. The go-go boot and the mini skirt were two of his signature styles. André Courrèges is a publication that reflects its designer, packed full of punchy images and statements, colourful acetate pages, mirrored surfaces, and all bound in a hard metal cover. The book is much scarcer than its limitation suggests.
