Michael Roberts is 'the Jean Cocteau of the fashion world' wrote the celebrated New Yorker editor Tina Brown in 1997, welcoming her new fashion editor to the most prestigious magazine in the world. Having already served for many years as a style editor (The London Sunday Times, Vanity Fair) and having produced numerous illustrations, photographs, paintings and columns of fashion criticism for various media, M.R. had already had his name coupled with Cocteau's, but his striking visual style is collected here for the first time. From evocative pen-and-ink sketches to acrylic paintings to intensely witty New Yorker covers created from cut paper, these works capture the fads, foibles, and fashionability of our times. Anna Wintour, Editor in Chief of American Vogue, in her introduction to 'this beautiful book' calls them 'fiendishly accurate satire.' And the shoe guru Manolo Blahnik writes, 'His drawings grasp fashion moments like a photo could never do.' That a major part of the book was created through the painstaking method of paper collage especially appeals to the internationally famed fashion designer John Galliano. He writes, 'I have avidly collected his work, along with doing my own collages, for years, and I am honored to be a part of this book. -Grace Coddington

A celebration of the visual output of the British fashion journalist and style director, Michael Roberts. Alongside his writing, Roberts produced fashion sketches, paintings and collages. Over 120 of this are reproduced here, including graphic covers for The New Yorker, Vogue, Tatler, The Sunday Times Magazine and The Telegraph Magazine. The whole is a colourful, popping feast for the eye, with the illustrations presented against collages created especially for the book.

Edited by Grace Coddington. Texts by Anna Wintour, Tim Blanks, Michael Specter, Michael Roberts, André Leon Talley, John Galliano, Manolo Blahnik. Illustrations by Michael Roberts. Edition 7L / Steidl. Paris. 2005. First edition. Hardback, quarto; red cloth-bound illustrated boards, illustrated slipcase. [288 pages]. Illustrated profusely in colour.
