The best fashion books to have on your coffee table
If you're looking for the best new fashion books out in 2019, we've got you covered. Otherwise, read on for the best fashion coffee table books from years gone by.

From vases of dried flowers and hugging crowds of candles, to sleek, minimalist surfaces unobstructed by clutter – coffee tables say a lot about one's character.


The coffee table book, in particular, has transformative power, and ahead of the gifting season we've rounded up our favourite fashion books, new and old, to invest in now.


The brand new one: Balenciaga: Winter 2018

A brand new number from Rizzoli, immortalizing Gvasalia's Fall '18 collection by way of backstage shots and show prep pictures taken by Johnny Dufort and Pierre-Ange Carlotti. And what makes it so covetable? It literally glows, thanks to the use of two rare neon inks.
