This coffee-table book, published to coincide with his exhibition at Somerset House, features some of the most iconic images in popular culture, from Princess Diana’s short, slicked-back 'do to Tilda Swinton channelling David Bowie, plus countless editorial shots of reigning supermodel Kate Moss.

One of our favourite Brit designers, Molly Goddard has teamed up with one of our favourite high street stores – Topshop, of course – on an eight-piece capsule collection of footwear that you might have spotted in her SS17 show.
"It’s the first time we've been able to make our own shoes for a show and I liked experimenting with the different colours and leathers. The shoes really pulled the collection together and they've been a nice way to introduce the brand to a wider audience. Some of the styles are really wearable and others are a little more daring – my favourites are the silver knee-high boots!” Molly explained. We love the silver booties, too, but these versatile sandals are top of our wish list.
