The Steve
McQueen Affair

By Yann-Brice Dherbier (Pavilion), $40 ($26.40 on Amazon.com)

Dolce & Gabbana recently immortalized him on T-shirts and now, two books celebrate his style. It's clear that the King of Cool hasn't ceded any territory.

We have a feeling you may be sporting a turtleneck sometime this fall.

By Henri Suzeau (Verlhac Editions), $60 ($37.80 on Amazon.com)
