Parfait shows off the new (old) styles for the season along with learned and witty commentary that will be appreciated by lovers of Labor Issues and Fashion Studies alike. This is a beautifully bright fold-out brochure with images sourced from out-of-print books, magazines, found newspapers, and old style sheets. A nice antidote to keeping up with fashion trends, complete with smart design and print from Emily Larned's Red Charming label.
