Brief note on ffep. Contents and DJ are almost like new. ; Light tan boards, bright gold lettering. AUTOBIOGRAPHY. "His off-the-record take on fashion, from the inside out. With breezy irreverence, he looks at guys and taste, divas and deviousness, fabric and texture, and all those ties. He takes us to the luxe bastion of Louis Boston, where he came of age and learned the trade, and to the seductive domain of Polo Ralph Lauren, where he became associate director of menswear design. He reveals the mystique of department-store politics, what's what at the sample sale, and who copies whom. He explains the process of making great clothes, from conception and sketch to manufacturing and marketing. Whether he's traveling by daredevil horse, plunging plane, Paris Metro, or cross-country limo, Abboud is an illuminating gudie to a complex world. " ..Index. 16p color and b/w photos.. VG-/VG .
