Omschrijving
Celebrating the seventy-fifth anniversary of this iconic luxury fashion brand, this book presents a vibrant visual survey of Coach's continual exploration and redefinition of American style, infused with its distinctively cool New York City spirit.
"And while it's published by none other than Rizzoli New York, don't let the genre fool you, because this isn't your average coffee table book. Adopting a unique scrapbook style layout designed by famed art director Fabien Baron, this nearly 300-page walk down New York's fashion memory lane details the entirety of Coach's journey, starting from their humble beginnings as a quaint SoHo workshop with only six artisans to the American fashion giant they are today"

The book is without question a celebration of all its contents."
