If you have any interest in the supermodel era of fashion, Champagne Supernovas is a great look into a piece of it.

It details some of the most powerful people’s personal struggles, and how the culture they had been thrust into only made it worst. It’s glamorous, sure, but the exploration of the underbelly of popular culture makes it that much more exciting to read. 

From Alyssa's list on style.
