For $100 price tag, you'll be able to feast your eyes on more than 1,000 photographs from the designer's long and eventful career in fashion." -FashionTimes.com, "Even if you don't have many of the designer's pieces hanging in your closet, you can celebrate her work with a new permanent fixture on you coffee table." - Fashionista.com "The book is, natch, black, with a lot of white space on each page perfectly framing photographs that chronicle Ms. Demeulemeester's 30 years in fashion. It has been her main project since she stepped down from her house...While it is quite thick, however, it is regular book length and width -- it's not one of those glossy megaliths that require their own coffee table -- which makes it something of an elegant surprise. It's pretty much her aesthetic in magnum opus form." - The New York Times "Though the wave of sadness felt after Ann Demeulemeester's departure from her eponymous label endures, the fashion set should find some consolation come fall.

As a matter of fact, if not for the thin paper stock, the 2000-page tome might prove unwieldy. The first part is a treasure trove of early photography, virtually impossible to come by in the pre-Internet era. From these you can glean how early some signature elements of Demeulemeester's aesthetic appeared...There are no breaks of any kind to separate one collection from the next-- a reminder that Demeulemeester sees her work as one continuous, undivided series of chapters." - Hint Magazine, "Even if you don't have many of the designer's pieces hanging in your closet, you can celebrate her work with a new permanent fixture on you coffee table." - Fashionista.com
