Enhanced descriptions from Syndetics:
The creative genius of couturiers from Balenciaga and Balmain to Vivienne Westwood and Yuki is explored through the details of their work, which are arranged in seven sections- seams; gathers; tucks and pleats; collars, cuffs and pockets; buttons; bows; beads and sequins and applied decoration. Each entry contains a stunning close-up photograph, a line drawing and a lively commentary.
