I don’t think we ever need a reason to add more books to our libraries, but why not make the beginning of a new year our excuse? New releases are published almost every day and well, we can’t be any more grateful. However, even though we might like reading a lot, we still won’t have the time to read every book out there. This is why we decided to share with you a few of our favorites to help you settle on something you really shouldn’t miss.
Louis Vuitton: Virgil Abloh
Written by Abloh’s close collaborator Anders Christian Madsen and published by Assouline, this book is part of a very interesting world. It’s the first one on the visionary designer since his passing. Also accompanied by in-depth captions that allow the reader to contextualize every stage of the designer’s story – both personal and professional – at Louis Vuitton, it becomes even more interesting to read.

Valentino Rosso
The least we can say about the new Valentino release is that it’s a masterpiece. Written by Charlie Porter, this book continues the Valentino story showcasing its glorious history and aesthetic identity. As its name shows, it reveals a lot about the staple red color in the House; It turns out there are more than 550 different palettes of the iconic Valentino Red present in the Maison's archives.
