—STEPHEN KAMIFUJI

Should one be ballsy enough to rip apart François Berthoud’s new book of illustrations to wallpaper the bedroom, you’d have about the greatest room ever. Each page is a masterpiece and smells of a collab with a luxury fashion brand coming soon to Rodeo Drive (watch out, Yayoi). Alternatively, this showcase of thirty years of Berthoud’s work will look nice stacked on your other giant slipcover books. François Berthoud: Fashion, Fetish and Fantasy, $195, rizzoliusa.com
