Book Description

October 26, 2009 1563677105 978-1563677106 5
Who s Who in Fashion, 5th Edition, captures the energy, drama, and excitement of the
luminaries who make up the world of fashion. Alphabetical listing of profiles includes
useful design philosophies, as well as mentors and sources of inspiration. The biographies
trace the careers of many of the men and women who ve contributed to fashion. Besides
today s major figures and legendary designers of the past, there are lesser known people
and newcomers worth watching as well as a sampling of interesting nonconformists free
spirits who prefer to work off the main fashion paths. The picture would not be complete
without the style makers, those with an eye and an instinct for fashion and who interpret
it for the public; and of course, the editors, photographers, artists those who sketch and
photograph, write about fashion, and promote it.

3.0 out of 5 stars who's who only defines a select few......... February 13, 2007
Format:Paperback|Amazon Verified Purchase
This book is for my current designers class. It informs you about allot of mainstream designers, and a couple you may have never heard of. I was somewhat surprised that designers like Roberto Cavalli weren't discussed. and some designers had a really small section of info about them. But overall the info it does have is really interesting.
