As all interiors aficionados know, a coffee table is never merely a coffee table. Yes, it can be used as a station for drinks, dinners and even the odd foot on particularly lazy days, but its most important role by far is that of flaunting our most fabulous books – which have been purchased for the sole purpose of their contribution to a good-looking 'shelfie'.

A well-chosen selection of coffee table books can make us look particularly good too, subtly displaying our interests for all guests to see – so it's only right that a fashion aficionado's coffee table should be piled high with all the most stylish tomes out there. From visual histories of the most important designers and archival images for daily style inspo, to catalogues of the biggest fashion photographers of our generation, this is ELLE UK's pick of the best fashion coffee table books to buy now and proudly display forever.
