The book is organized by colour, ranging from the blues of China, through the reds of the monasteries of Tibet, the ambers of Mali, the indigo of the Saharan Tuaregs, to the yellows and wine purples of the Woodabe people of Niger and the green and greys of Vietnam. Also recorded are the finer details of handmade textiles, jewels, painted faces, houses, doors, and the natural environment. Lavishly designed by Trey Laird, the creative director of Donna Karan, this book will appeal to those interested in fashion, travel, design, and the rich creativity of different cultures.
