'John French, (1907-1966) one of London's top fashion photographers during the 1950s and early 1960s, was once described as "the man who brought a new glamour to fashion photography". Best known for his impeccably lit, stylish photographs of top models, which featured regularly in the national press, perhaps his most important achievement was to revolutionize newspaper coverage of fashion. Over 100 photographs are gathered here to illustrate his contribution to fashion photography and chart the changes in fashionable dress between 1948 and 1965.

Roy Strong, Snowdon, Vere French, Davie Bailey, Terence Donovan, Charles Fielder, Brigid Keenan and Tania Radcliffe give vivid descriptions of John French's work and explain his role in the world of fashion photography.' 

This is the only book on John French and was published to coincide with an exhibition of his work at the Victoria and Albert Museum. The exhibition was based upon French's archive, which had been donated to the V&A by his widow, Vere French. The catalogue includes a chronology, recollections by those who worked with him, a bibliography and a collection of French's photographs. The photographs reflect the understated elegance and glamour of the New Look and feature clothes designed in both London and Paris. Designers featured include Barbara Goalen, Dior, Jacques Fath, Anne Gunning, Hardy Amies, Norman Hartnell, Nina Ricci, John Cavanagh, Pierre Cardin, Yves Saint Laurent, Mary Quant, Madame Paulette, Barbara Hulanicki and Andre Courreges.

3 Star Read,
Format: Kindle
This book wasn't bad, but wasn't my cup of tea. It's highly disappointing because the storyline is so original. There is no real conflict or resolution, so the entire thing feels flat. As a lover of omegaverse books, I know there is a ton of variety out there, and ov is really up to the author. But this one is weird. Omegas have multiple scent glands all over their bodies and go into week long heats every month. Alphas have knots in the middle of their shaft instead of the base, and the knot doesn't always swell, no explanation of when or why. It doesn't engage at all when the mouth is in play. I also didn't enjoy the author's writing style. Each paragraph is only 1 or 2 sentences long, and the entire book reads very stacato. The conversations are stiff and unnatural feeling. Everything is very repetitive, both in word choice and in thought. The same thing is repeated 3 or 4 times over a single page, multiple times over. I ended up doing so much skimming. The first 50% of the book is all slow burn, and the last 50% is almost straight mediocre spice. This wouldn't have been all bad if the grammar and spelling errors didn't start at the exact same time. Tongue is repeatedly misspelled in the middle of the spice.

Cozy Omegaverse
Format: Kindle
This is the true definition of Cozy Omegaverse. LA wedding coordinator meets her pack at the location for a couple’s destination wedding. Low angst because they are scent matched high heat with heats and knots. Everything you love about this genre with very little anxiety. Simply a fun experience to read and a book I will comeback to when I’m in a slump. I simply love reading this book

Cute Omegaverse story
Format: Kindle
3.75 stars and 2 for spice. Adorable Omegaverse story about a wedding planner who has to go to a small town to plan a wedding for a movie star. While there, she meets her pack. This covers her struggles of not living there but trying to keep her relationship going with her 3 Alphas. It's a quick read and cute, so I recommend it for people who like light-hearted RH stories.

real good
Format: Kindle
This was a solid read for the ABO universe. The characters are great. The smut scenes were well written. And the town is so cute I want to go there. It didn’t have much character development it just felt like I was getting to the characters as they were getting to know each other.

So sweet
Format: Kindle
It’s so unexpectedly sweet that it sneaks up on you. Each character is so unique and charming. I love the openness and honesty among their pack. It really blows me away how wonderful this omegaverse trope plays out. I received a free copy of this book and am voluntarily leaving a review.
