    • Soaring beauty, reawakened fashions, publishing excellence - and more
A couple of days after visiting this alluring and luscious exhibit at the Metropolitan Museum of Art, my copy of the exhibition catalog arrived. Impressive! This 489-page volume-with-sturdy-slipcase (12 X 9 X 2) provides the ultimate in-depth dive into the exhibit, and could NOT be more extensive. "Case studies" for the various garments are presented including literary passages/references, folkloric significance, museum-centric insights, and curatorial/cultural expertise. If all this sounds dry and ho-hum -- Think again. When the history of our age is written, Andrew Bolton will be remembered as a brilliant genius intent on sharing his various/endless passions and bringing the public along for the ride. Photos by Nick Knight were descriptive and artful. Page design and typography choices were smart/efficient, and the numerous fold-outs and tactile-esque close-ups are spot-on. All in all, the exhibit features a magnificent array of garments (from the Met Collection) and this remarkable catalog makes everything "more so". A total triumph, a la Bolton. ... show more

I have been visiting the MET for about 20 years and have not missed one special exhibition. It is easily the best MET catalog I have seen regarding the illustration quality. Some even surpass those in a fine auction catalog. I have uploaded a few photos. There are about 350 illustrations out of the close-to-500-page book—many fold-out pages with high-resolution photos. I decided to purchase one after reviewing a few pages of a display copy in the MET bookstore. I was very happy to find it on Amazon and that the shipping was complimentary for Prime members. After all, it is a heavy-duty book. ... show more

    • Sleeping Beauties: Reawakening Fashion
What a great reference book about the history of Women's clothing and styles. It is especially a good coffee table book for conversations with friends. Good reference book especially if you went to the Met to see the clothing in person.

    • Gorgeous!
I saw this exhibit at the Metropolitan Museum and the pictures in the book really represent the amazing clothes! It’s really a gorgeous book with fabulous fold outs showing up close details. I was going to buy the book in the museum store but my daughter showed me it was cheaper on Amazon.

    • An Amazing Companion Book to a Phenomenal Exhibit
A high-quality book covering a phenomenal MET exhibit. If you like books/art/fashion, any or all of the above, buy this book! I saw the exhibit in June 2024 and am thrilled to have this book as a reference and memento.

    • Great exhibit but catalog so so
I so wanted this catalog to be great. They did a lot with fold outs to help. But I found the photos less than I had hoped. The typeface made the book seem cheap. A disappointment but I must say the book does have value. So three stars. Kind of a disappointment from the MET.

    • Most stunning fashion book
Andrew Bolton has compiled masterworks of fashion into a stunningly beautiful, and educational, book that I will treasure forever. I thank him for his care and diligence as curator.
