Every year, there’s one big question on everyone’s lips: what should we get our loved ones for Christmas? From fashion to AI-generated dreamscapes to the 100 best albums ever created, LUXUS MAGAZINE has selected seven books that are as magical as the festive season.
Battle of Versailles by Rizzoli
Published in September 2024 by Rizzoli, Battle of Versailles retraces the confrontation between French and American designers in 1973. The show, held at the Château de Versailles, pitted French designers Yves Saint Laurent, Pierre Cardin, Emanuel Ungaro, Marc Bohan and Hubert de Givenchy against their transatlantic counterparts, Oscar de la Renta, Stephen Burrows, Halston, Bill Blass and Anne Klein. 700 guests attended the party, including Princess Grace, Marie-Hélène de Rothschild, Andy Warhol, Liza Minnelli and Joséphine Baker. At the helm of the book are author Mark Bozek, founder and CEO of Live Rocket, producer and director of the film The Times of Bill Cunningham, photographers Jean-Luce Huré and Bill Cunningham, with contributions from Liza Minnelli, Pat Cleveland and Diet Prada.
Karl Lagerfeld by E/P/A
While numerous books and documentaries have attempted to unravel the mystery of Karl Lagerfeld, a new book tells us a little more about the history and personality of the Kaiser of fashion. A chameleon of a man, as gifted in couture as in design and photography, the creator has turned his life into fiction. Karl Lagerfeld, published by E/P/A in mid-November and written by Silhouette magazine and Véronique Bergen, retraces both his life and his artistic contribution to Chanel, Fendi and Chloé.
