A comprehensive tome showcasing today's most beautiful art, fashion and design that has been influenced by humanity's affixation with the skull symbol. The embossed skull on this cover comes incognito in camouflage and features over 100 artists and designers from around the world that use skulls in their artwork. This book cover, by famous French Designer Lucien Pellat-Finet, glows in the dark, and each endpaper matches the cover design patterns. 'Skull Style' is a beautifully designed book that presents not only one of the most ancient symbols used in the history of mankind but how it is utilised in the most surprising and modern way today. Formerly an emblem of evil and mortality, the skull has been transformed into an avant-garde design element used in the most cutting-edge art, chic interiors and vanguard style of the moment. Whether embellished on costly T-shirts, woven on limited edition chairs, and even encrusted with diamonds sold at an art auction for $100 million, the skull is no longer just a daunting memento of our frail mortality but a contemporary figure of fashion. This 500-page book shows how this once morbid trinket of death has been reinvented into the much-desired decoration by the trendsetters of tomorrow.
