I understand the sheer volume of what is presented makes for anything more to be a bit of a hassle, but cmon now, not even a few pages here and there on what she was thinking about through each collection?
I'm hoping a second book comes out in the future, but with some actual writing.

I didn't expect anything specific to seasons, but maybe some text for the first and last collections would have been nice. I find it odd that most of the other Rizzoli books offer much more text and content on the designers they have published. I would maybe give them a pass though if they would have made the book substantially larger in size though, something like the Rick Owens book. I can't get over the fact that the runway shots are window boxed into an already laughably small (not thick) book the size of Varney the Vampire.
Beautiful book though, it just looks better on a shelf than a coffee table.
Lovely shots Faust, Seraphim and Gawkrodger. I love how the book looks atop the high shelf with the bookmarks hanging.

It's quite prosaic it self, frontal shots of each runway look, and nothing more. It's like a physical version of looking through seasonal works on style.com, but without the commentary.

More from DSM:
"The legendary musician (Patti Smith) reads from her introduction to Demeulemeester's new book – and recounts the touching moment her world and the designer's first collided"
