Why is one little black dress worth five thousand dollars and another worth fifty? Is the catwalk really that catty? What makes a supermodel so super?<P><P>And a designer too hot to touch? Who is making money? Who owns whom? Who hates whom? And who's in each other's pockets? The answers are all to be found in <I>Fashion Babylon.</i><P><P>Taking the reader through six months in a designer's life, it explains how a collection is put together -- from the objects of inspiration to the catwalk, into the shops and, hopefully, onto the cover of a magazine. It examines who goes to the shows and where they sit...and whose backside they have to kiss to get there. Narrated from the point of view of an anonymous A-list British fashion designer looking to break out across the pond and structured around three of the annual "must" industry events in London, Paris and New York, this irresistible work of reportage goes inside the well-cut seams of the fashion world, where women are paid tens of thousands of dollars for simply getting dressed and where a wrong skirt length can cost you your career.<P><P><I>Fashion Babylon</i> decodes the markups and the comedowns, the fabulous extremes and the shoddy shortcuts behind one of the most lucrative and secretive businesses in the world. Witty, naughty and packed with celebrity gossip, this book will forever change the way you peruse the racks at Bergdorf's or flip through the pages of <I>Vogue.</i><P><P> 1391061 2006 Fashion Babylon total:157|5:16|4:55|3:57|2:21|1:8| 157 521 258 32 129174 141654318X 9781416543183 111 21 3.32 http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1171983067m/129174.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/129174.Fashion_Babylon 2 1 false Mon Jan 01 00:00:00 -0800 2007 Sun Apr 08 09:17:05 -0700 2007 Sun Apr 08 09:21:48 -0700 2007 more...]]> 129174 141654318X 9781416543183 111 21 3.32 http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1171983067m/129174.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/129174.Fashion_Babylon 1 1 false Wed Mar 28 10:30:41 -0700 2007 Tue Jun 12 08:47:11 -0700 2007 129174 141654318X 9781416543183 111 21 3.32 http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1171983067m/129174.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/129174.Fashion_Babylon 3 1 false Sun Jul 01 00:00:00 -0700 2007 Tue Aug 21 13:12:32 -0700 2007 Tue Aug 21 13:13:42 -0700 2007 129174 141654318X 9781416543183 111 21 3.32 http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1171983067m/129174.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/129174.Fashion_Babylon 5 0 false Wed Oct 14 00:00:00 -0700 2009 Thu Oct 01 05:35:41 -0700 2009 Wed Oct 14 20:32:43 -0700 2009 more...]]> 129174 141654318X 9781416543183 111 21 3.32 http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1171983067m/129174.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/129174.Fashion_Babylon 3 0 false Fri Feb 29 00:00:00 -0800 2008 Fri Feb 29 04:33:50 -0800 2008 Fri Feb 29 08:42:54 -0800 2008 more...]]> 1127748 0552154431 9780552154437 8 2 3.32 http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1181217996m/1127748.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/1127748.Fashion_Babylon 4 0 false Thu Jul 19 00:54:24 -0700 2007 Wed Jan 23 03:02:00 -0800 2008 by Imogen Edwards-Jones
