News: An elegant book you need now
Posted: . Filed under: News
SJP says it left her truly inspired. Michael Kors called it “A wonderful mélange of chic and amusing tidbits — this book makes me smile.” while Tory Burch said “it is fascinating and inspiring. I kept turning the page, wanting to learn more.”
The Encyclopedia of the Exquisite is simply a fabulous little novelty book of charming curios across the ages. The exquisite items compiled by Jessica Kerwin Jenkins, includes expositions on such luxuries as champagne, such curios as the Torreador’s trousers and exquisite performers as Jules Leotard – the original acrobat.
It’s not Plato’s Symposium, but who would not find it useful to drop into idle conversation the origins of champagne, or in fact why the leotard is called a leotard?
At US $18.45 from Amazon, it’s just the thing to pull out when party conversation gets dull.
