Four cult brands gathered in one gift box of Little Books - Bottega Veneta, Issey Miyake, Celine and Miu Miu

Little Guides to Style Gift Set: The Cult Collection by Frances Solá-Santiago, Kati Chitrakorn, and Kristen Bateman explores four iconic fashion houses that have achieved cult status. When a brand becomes a cult, its items are lusted after, hunted down, break the Internet, and change the fashion landscape. These four fashion houses have all become cult brands in their own right, and this is your ultimate guide to them.

Bottega Veneta is renowned for its beautifully crafted leather goods, known especially for the distinctive Intrecciato woven design and statement green. The brand's iconic pieces include the Knot bag and an increasingly famous range of footwear and jewellery collections.

Issey Miyake is celebrated for his innovative approach, which fuses technology and fashion. From his famous Pleats Please range to iconic pieces like Steve Jobs's signature black turtleneck and Grace Jones's sculptural looks, Miyake's designs have redefined the notions of clothing and beauty and are truly designed for everyone.

Celine, known for its deceptive simplicity and off-kilter femininity, has thrived under the stewardship of both Phoebe Philo and Heidi Slimane. It is regarded as one of the most chic Parisian brands.

Miu Miu, the cult little sister brand of Prada, embodies a rare female point of view for daring women. Featuring viral micro-miniskirts, covetable ballet flats, whimsical prints, artist collaborations, and off-kilter colours, it stands as the ultimate 'anti-fashion' brand.

Four authoritatively written little books complete this collection of the most groundbreaking fashion houses of our times, illustrated with over 400 stunning images of runway presentations, street style, designs, and behind-the-scenes shots.
