A perennial favorite returns to print in this sumptuous volume celebrating six decades of automotive design genius, from Bugatti to Bentley, Alfa Romeo to Aston Martin, Mercedes to McLaren
Bugatti and Bentley, Alfa and Aston, Mercedes and McLaren—these are not merely cars, they are some of the most exquisite automobiles ever assembled, all collected by trendsetting designer Ralph Lauren. This breathtaking volume features 29 of these wonders—from such unparalleled masterpieces as the 1938 Alfa Romeo Mille Miglia and the 1938 Bugatti Atlantic Coupe to marvels by Jaguar, Ferrari, Porsche and even a Ford "Woody." Each of these vehicles is lovingly photographed and presented with authoritative elegance. Complementing the images are sketches of these and other cars—rarely seen drawings that give insight into the conceptual and development stages of the automobiles. Long out of stock, this fan favorite finally returns to print, staying true to its original format and content. With over 160 color images by photographer Michael Furman, plus an interview with Ralph Lauren—who discusses the links between the cars and his overall design philosophy—this book will delight both the rampant car enthusiast and aficionados of great design in any form.
