'All Gone'....Book Review

All Gone is a book that is released anually from Collette's in Paris, the book documents the 'The finest of street culture 2007'. There are 253 glossy pages ranging from 'A Bathing Ape to X-Large. They limit the release of the book to 1500 copies, this year 1000 were available in purple and 500 in silver.

Mine was delivered about a week ago but problems with the couriers delayed me getting my hands on it. Props for the big dent in the cover as well!

All the main releases and collaborations feature in the book. Personally i think 2007 was a big year for releases, the quality wasnt as high as recent years but collaborations was definataly the thing everyone was doing.

The book is a good definitive guide to what the main players of the streetwear game were upto in 2007. Each feature has a paragraph informing the reader of release dates, stores and history of the brands.

Id say it is worth buying but at around £35 each and being released every year its quite expensive. On the other hand are treated to the biggest selection of releases all in one book. Collette has definatly had an access all areas pass to all the entries so you are treated to some good picture as well.

2008 has started slow which was to be expected but im sure we are in for some more treats to come later this year.

Peace
