Title: Narcissitic drivel, but some great photos
Review: I bought this book thinking it would actually discuss design, but all it talks about is the author's/designer's methodologies, not necessarily exploring other facets or designers of glamorous style. Also, it's littered with photos of Kelly, nearly 20 to be exact. Are they all of her working in her surroundings? No, they are her, posed like a prop in a movie set, sitting at the beach or gazing at antiques on her fabulous travels. What? They do nothing to reinforce her work, it seems only to prove how fabulous she is. Her designs are quite beautiful and sumptuous, but reading about 'me' and 'my' and 'I' gets tiring. Pretty to look at, I suppose good reading material if you can't fall asleep. I kinda wish I had bought this book used instead of paying full price.
Is the review positive or negative?
