Confessions of a Window Dresser

"Confessions of a Window Dresser" 's laugh-out-loud text and more than 250 full-color images trace Doonan's dynamic career and highlight his most famous and infamous tableaux. It celebrates the pop culture of the last twenty years, including the grooviest merchandise, the hottest fashion trends, and the most gossiped about glitterati. With his inimitable British sense of humour (Monty Python comes to mind), Doonan shares his creative inspirations on his collabarations with fashion designers (Prada, Comme des Garcons, Chanel, Armani, Lang, Alaia, Lacroix, Gaultier, among many others), and what it's like to work with some of our day's most notorious artists and celebrities.
