This indispensable revised edition captures the energy, drama, and excitement of the luminaries who make up the world of fashion. In this beautifully illustrated text, profiles range from historical figures such as Balenciaga, Drecoll, Jacques Heim, Lucile, Molyneux, Schiaparelli, and Vionnet to contemporary designers of men's and women's ready-to-wear such as Joseph Abboud, Linda Allard, Helmut Lang, Nicole Miller, Todd Oldham, Jil Sander, and Anna Sui. Alphabetical biographies of over 300 major designers, illustrators, photographers, and fashion editors include information on their clothes categories, design influences and philosophy, target markets, and additional creative works as well as their successes and failures. In an introductory essay, "The Fashion Game: What's in a Name", the author discusses the concept of fashion designers and their relationship to the history of 20th century fashion, beginning with the earliest designers and concluding with today's fashion designers and where the business of fashion is going.

This review is from: Who's Who in Fashion (Paperback)
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.
