Each bookstore will act as a concierge, recommending "the book you should read now" to FASHION HEADLINE readers. Every Saturday, we will introduce books selected by Shelf (3-7-4 Jingumae, Shibuya-ku, Tokyo), a Harajuku/Gaienmae bookshop that specializes in foreign books.


■ "CHANEL The Making of a Collection"

This reportage-style visual book was created by popular France-based illustrator Jean-Philippe Delhomme and madameFIGARO journalist Laetitia Senac, who spent a year inside the Chanel house.

Jean-Philippe Delorme's colorful illustrations recreate the entire process, from the staff working behind the scenes to the mannequins on stage, right up to the show itself.
