This dress is instantly recognizable as having been designed by Bob Mackie. He was best known for dressing Cher and for his signature glamourous looks. The best of his work are the pieces like this that are dripping with beadwork. Modern girls are obsessed with his vintage pieces. He worked for both Edith Head and Jean Louis prior to working as a costume designer and co-designing with Ray Aghayan. That led to his incredible journey in designing for stars like Cher and Diana Ross for many years. In some ways he and his creations defined their careers and that era of glamour. His work always has that touch of the best of the bygone glamor of Hollywood.

This is an amazing dress that is extremely sexy and flattering even though you are covered completely. The base of the dress is made of a black net and it is lined through the body with a black chiffon. Onto that is a pattern made up of beautiful curving vertical bands that feel like they are trailing over you from shoulder to hem. That design is made up of blue and silver glass tube beads that have been set in those curving bands over the entire dress. Scattered within those are little highlights done in a silver sequin with a tiny clear bead at their centers. This combination of the blue and pops of silver give the dress an extra layer of texture and glamour as every inch of it catches the light and sparkles. The dress has a decent weight to it when it is off of the body because of that extensive bead-work, and yet once on the body it drapes in a way that it is balanced and not at all unwieldy. The necklace is high and the collar is extremely detailed. The upper bodice has not been lined so you get a sense of transparency through the black net. The sleeves have also been left unlined so you see glimpses of skin through the pattern there as well as they run down to the wrist. The waist is brought in to create shape but there is no horizontal seam to break the lines of the design. The skirt is incredible and pure Bob Mackie in design. It is cut on a curve so the back is longer then the front and it has a high slit at one side of the front. The effect of this is far more dramatic and fabulous on a real body and it really shows off the legs. If you even remotely love it in the photos you will love when you see it in person. These were sent to the stores lined with that black chiffon through the body and it is already a touch transparent in a strong light but I have had people remove even that lining to get that more nude dress, even more see through feel that Mackie became so well known for. Excellent condition.

Lined through the body except for the areas as described above in a semi-sheer black chiffon. It closes with a back zipper and each sleeve has a zipper at its end. Tagged a vintage 4.

Perfect
Format: Hardcover
This was my first book purchase, top notch quality and the feeling every page as you touch and turn it is satisfying, delivery was also earlier than anticipated. Some of the concept art in the book is available online if you know where to look, but there are some never seen before art in there too, plus the tidbits shared by the developers is nice and gives cool behind the scenes information, overall a great deal for any Deus Ex fan.

Yes, I Absolutely Asked For This.
Format: Hardcover
The Art of the Deus Ex Universe is a gorgeous artbook that encompasses Eidos Montreal’s past two Deus Ex games, Deus Ex Human Revolution and Deus Ex Mankind Divided. It starts with the foreword by the creator of Deus Ex Warren Spector who talks about the game he created being a classic and giving his approval of the latest games saying they keep the spirit of the original alive. From there you get five chapters of great art and behind the scenes commentary by the Art Director Jonathan Jacques-Belletete and Martin Dubeau. The five chapters are in order characters, weapons and tech, locations, the breach, and in-game adverts. The last two are short and brief compared to the first three chapters. You see the concepts on how they nailed the uniques aesthetic designs of Human Revolution and Mankind Divided. The “cyber-renaissance” look, as the art director calls it. The art style of these games give off a Cyberpunk dystopian look; that does not seem too far fetched to believe might happen. The Art of the Deus Ex Universe is a fantastic art book you get two games in one art book. You get good looking art concepts and fun making of Deus Ex facts. Such as the colors pink, violet and purple do not exist in the world of Deus Ex giving the visual metaphor of Eliza Cassan being an AI as she the only person who wears purple in the entire two games. There are many fun facts like that all over the art book as well as the beautiful artwork. A must for Deus Ex afficandos!

Even if you're not big into books, you totally asked for this one!
Format: Hardcover
Eidos Montreal's work in the Deus Ex series is a standout in the science fiction genre in terms of art direction. The art design in their games is a unique mixture of classical elegance and technological achievement; it is both gorgeous in some ways and somber in others. This book is an excellent showcase of art, and it also provides meaningful developer commentary on the rationale behind many designs seen in the games. Overall, this artbook is excellent, and a must-have for fans of the series who enjoyed the art design of the games.

a nice retrospective of the art of the Deus Ex Universe
Format: Hardcover
Overall, a nice retrospective of the art of the Deus Ex Universe. However, there are areas where it could have further excelled. More in-game, non-character model, non-landscape art would have been great (they give you a few pages of in-game posters and the like, I would have preferred that they covered more of this). There is a smattering of things that were designed but not used, I would have loved to see that explored as it's own section in the book. We know that they had planned, at one time, to have things take place in a few more locales in Human Revolution, it would have been great to see some of the early concept art for those sections. Neither of the mobile Deus Ex games were touched upon at all in the book. Granted there isn't much material that could be covered with them, but nonetheless, a page or two about them would have been nice. My biggest complaint? The book is just barely too tall to fit on my bookshelf.

Lovely
Format: Hardcover
Packaging was fine. BooK was near perfect condition. As for the book, it’s absolutely beautiful. It doesn’t include all of the concept art I’ve been able to find online but it does have a bunch and I love having it in this physically accessible place. It’s bigger than I thought it would be in terms of height and width and thicker than I thought it would be. Very happy. The art for this video game series is absolutely stunning.
