Just What These Times Need: Dolce & Gabbana’s Glorious New Coffee-Table Book

Dolce & Gabbana recently released a stunning new coffee-table book called Diamonds and Pearls devoted to just that — diamonds and pearls. The designers selected clothing and accessories from their archives bedazzled with all manner of sequins, gemstones, and pearls to photograph on very lifelike mannequins. The giant book probably weighs about twelve pounds, but the photographs are so gorgeous we lugged it to the scanner with our noodle arms to bring you a taste of it in the slideshow. Or purchase it in Dolce stores for $270.
