This morning we opened a package from Penguin Books that elicited oohs and ahhs from the female half of Flavorpill HQ. Famed fashion illustrator Ruben Toledo — whose work has appeared everywhere from Vogue to The New York Times — has created a series of couture-inspired covers for new Penguin Classics Deluxe Editions of three of our favorites.
