Le Book Caught Le Eye

I’m not important enough to be flicking through the pages of Le Book, THE fashion industry creative contacts book and since it costs $249, I’m not about to be pretending that I’m a VIP fashion insider who requires Le Book.  However, I’m quite content to be staring at the covers of the London edition of Le Book 2007 which is produced in association with Azzedine Alaia with the photographs taken by Sarah Moon.  I’m a big fan of that nostalgia-tinged, slightly eerie, dreamy quality that Moon’s photographs often have, as she manages to capture her subjects in that aforementioned aesthetic without going into the twee and fey territory.

So seeing as I have no need for Le Book’s comprehensive contacts, It’s a rare case where the cover surpasses the contents for me personally.
