New fashion books: Carine Roitfeld, Yohji Yamamoto, Matthew Williamson

(Koichi Inakoshi)

Here are three of the most-anticipated fashion book releases this fall.

The life of Carine, by Olivier

News of a biography of the editor of French Vogue has set the fashion blogosphere abuzz: edited by Purple magazine's Olivier Zahm (whose aesthetic but often pornographic blog outrages some in the same way as Terry Richardson does), the probably picture-heavy tome is set to be released by Rizzoli this fall.

Ode to the bomb

Speaking of biographies, Japanese designer Yohji Yamamoto will launch a book with publishers, Ludion on his life, entitled My Dear Bomb (referring to an explosion of creativity), in October, featuring "short fiction mostly based on live voice, accompanied by some vivid flashbacks of his key moments."

Bohemian bible

Matthew Williamson, the king of the sophisticated bohemian look - made famous partially by his muse Sienna Miller - will release a new book on his career so far come October. Editorial images highlighting his collections, celebrity fashion shoots, as well as mood boards and sketches will help fans of the designer in understanding his creative universe.
