Fetch Magazine by Taigan

Assouline’s typically fabulous Bals explores the nine most exceptional private costume parties of the 20th century, including the Baron de Rede’s Oriental Ball in Paris and Truman Capote’s Black and White Ball at New York’s Plaza Hotel. There’s a luxury slipcase, more than 250 ravishing illustrations, and first-person remembrances from the likes of Jacqueline de Ribes and Marisa Berenson. Says Andre Leon Talley of this lush book: “Nicholas Foulke’s gorgeous, escapist Bals chronicles a world where great society figures amused themselves by stepping out of reality and into a gilded milieu.”
