The Christmas List:
Michael Roberts: The Snippy World by Michael Roberts, (Grace Coddington, Anna Wintour.) Essays by Manolo Blahnik, John Galliano and Andre Leon Talley.
“Michael Roberts is the Jean Cocteau of the fashion world,” wrote the celebrated Tina Brown in 1997. Roberts has worked for many years as a style editor (The London Sunday Times, Vanity Fair) and has produced numerous illustrations, photographs, paintings, and columns of fashion criticism for various media and his striking visual style is collected here for the first time. From evocative pen-and-ink sketches to acrylic paintings to intensely witty New Yorker covers created from cut paper, these works capture the fads, foibles, and fashionability of our times. Anna Wintour, editor-in-chief of American Vogue, in her introduction to “this beautiful book” calls them “fiendishly accurate satire.”
