Anatomy of a Classic
A new take on an iconic fashion tome hits shelves this fall
A newly revised and updated collector’s edition of the late, great designer Oleg Cassini’s definitive fashion tome The Wedding Dress (Rizzoli New York, $65) hits shelves this October, providing de rigeur reading for the high-fashion-minded bride. Alongside work-of-art pieces by Cassini himself (known for helping to shape the style of such icons as Grace Kelly, Marilyn Monroe and Jacqueline Kennedy), the book features looks by Chanel, Dior and McQueen; imagery by Arthur Elgort, David LaChapelle and Irving Penn; and even delves into the historical rise of the ultimate sartorial statement.
