The Stylish Life: Skiing by Gabriella Le Breton
Beautiful coffee table book full of large, historical and modern-day photography of stunning winter alpine landscapes and historical photos of skiers. A deep dive into the fashion evolution within skiing and the stories behind the evolution of skiing as a mode of transportation to a global sport enjoyed by holiday goers and professionals alike.
Skiing for pleasure dates back to 1864 in the beautiful Swiss town of St. Moritz. From there, the sport has taken over different sectors including fashion, the Olympics and even being a symbol of status after royalty and celebrities alike have been photographed on the slopes.
Le Breton details origins of the sport, alongside images of some of the first hotels, ski lifts, some still standing today, in chapters that cover destinations and events, to art, design and culture.
Overall, a really fun book that is perfect for a coffee table or as a gift to a ski lover in your life.
