Couture Classics: The New Way To Study In Style

The classics are so beloved generation after generation because of their universal plots, themes, and morals. But although we've always been told to never judge a book by its cover, we can't help but purchase the most eye-appealing copy of Oliver Twist on the shelf for English class. And now publishing company Penguin is making it even easier to have the chicest edition of Brontë's Wuthering Heights, Hawthorne's The Scarlet Letter, and Austen's Pride and Prejudice. Fashion illustrator Ruben Toledo, whose art has been featured in the likes of Vogue, created totally cool new covers for these three classic tales. The new covers still capture the essence of the stories but with a fresh, modern take. My favorite by far is the Pride and Prejudice cover, done in a Gothic-style silhouette illustration in chic black and white. You best hurry and grab these novels off the shelves before your professor assigns them to be read, or else you may be stuck with one of those old drab copies!
