Richard Avedon

When I was 16 my sister Marilyn gave me this book for my birthday. It changed my life. When I was 26 I started working with Richard Avedon and that was even more life-changing.

Guillermo de Osma

Given to me by Perry Ellis circa 1980. Very dear.

Marguerite Yourcenar

I stopped hating being an insomniac because of this book.

Photographs by William Klein

All the city books by William Klein—New York, Paris, Rome, Tokyo, etc. I have them all. They’re fabulous.

Willa Cather

Every word.

William Shakespeare

This is the only poetry I read to myself. All other poetry requires someone reading to me.

Tibor Kalman

The book is as great as the title.

William Makepeace Thackeray

My idea of a page-turner.
