Anybody know a good place to purchase lookbooks? I am not sure if there is a better name for what I'm speaking of. My girlfriend is Lebanese and I was interested in buying her a hardcover picture book featuring the work of Zuhair Murad or Elie Saab. Thanks
I'm fairly sure I have seen some for sale on grailed so that is the only place I'm aware of
amazon.com
ebay.com

I've tried trust me there is not much luck in finding anything there, unless I am just lost

if you don't find something make her something :) compile pictures and reviews of the designers collections, collaborations, interviews and what not over the years. compile information and pictures into some pdf in InDesign. Have it printed and bound. Getting stuff like this done is a lot cheaper than you might think. I used to go to fashion academy last year, and we had to make creative portfolios and collection overviews for everything.
If you're lazy you can outsource all of this research+development to some Pajeet in India who'll work for you for like $5 an hour. Just give them precise instructions.
"You are to compile high resolution photographs of all of Elie Saab's collections since 1998, as well as reviews, articles and interviews with the designer from relevant sources(vogue, gq, whatever)" You catch my drift. Good luck.
