Críticas:

This coffee table companion has it all. --London Evening Standard 17 02 15

A self-confessed hoarder, Webb kept his favourite invitations, until one day it occurred to him that what he had collected was not just sentimental baggage but a record of fashion history that no one had properly curated - until now. And that is how his book, Invitation Strictly Personal: 40 Years of Fashion Show Invites, was born. --April issue of Vogue

A particularly addictive read for anyone remotely interested in the invite - only world of fashion shows and parties. The delight here is not just the invites but Iain R.Webb s ability to contextualise them. --The Independent 26 02 15

Reseña del editor:

For a designer, the fashion show invitation is a statement of intent, providing the first inkling for fashion editors and buyers of how a designer is thinking that particular season. Invitation Strictly Personal presents a unique collection of 300 fashion show invitations that span the past four decades, juxtaposing examples from womenswear and menswear collections, both ready-to-wear and haute couture, from all four fashion capitals - New York, London, Milan and Paris. Most of the invitations come from Webb's personal collection, which he has accumulated over the years as a fashion correspondent, and there will also be contributions from his front-row contemporaries, including Colin McDowell. In addition to invitations in their various forms, the collection will also feature programme notes, posters and promotional objects - all of which have rarely been made available outside the fashion industry.
