This book set was designed for the Smithsonian "Best Dressed" Collection featuring famous dresses vintage and new designed and worn around the world. To highlight the fashion designers' work, dresses were opaquely showcased on transparent paper, and a timeline was made to represent time periods. This project also includes a separate "Mini Textile Book" designed with fashion textiles in mind, including swatches of each dress so that viewers may turn through each page and feel the textile of each dress they are seeing.
