Cecil Beaton – The Glass Of Fashion – First Edition 1954
£300.00
A first edition, first printing of ‘A Glass of Fashion’ published by Weidenfeld and Nicolson in 1954. A very good book without inscriptions. In a very good unclipped with browning to the spine. A little edgewear to the spine tips and corners and some internal repair.
A stylish and insightful commentary on fashion, society, and personalities of the early 20th century. Blending memoir, critique, and illustration, Beaton reflects on the glamour and elegance of the fashion world, offering portraits of icons like Coco Chanel and Christian Dior.
