5.0 out of 5 stars Good Relationship Price - Quality, November 26, 2006
By 
Anayansi "Fashion Adict" (Panama, Republic of Panama) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Fashion Now (Icons) (Paperback)
I knew about fahion books published by Taschen during a Fashion Course I took last Summer in Italy. I got this one and another titled Fashion History and let me tell you that they offer really great books considering their price, quality, photos and the information presented about the topic.
This book contains a summary of the biographies and work of the most renowed Fashion Designers and the emerging talent on the Fashion Industry. I suggest to keep it not only as a reference book but also as a guide for further research.

3.0 out of 5 stars Fashion, July 2, 2008
This review is from: Fashion Now (Icons) (Paperback)
This book is a good one but I expected more. I purchased it thinking it would have info about fashion lines and such yet all it has is the history of the desginers and in size 1 font. You have to strain your eyes read it. But still it was very informational (is that a word?) and I did learn a few more designers names.
