Asha bought this book for a friend at the Philadelphia Museum of Art. I got to read it before she gave it to her friend. It is very cool and full of fashion designers from the 1800's to now. 1 pictures each and a paragraph about their life. I wrote down some of the names and googled them. Small but thick book.
This book is like a mini encyclopedia. Even though it needs to be updated, it'd always saved me when I needed a piece of information. It's got a list of influential people in the fashion industry dating back to the 1800's. I reckon this would be ideal for beginner fashion lovers.
I have "THE ART BOOK", also by Phaidon Press. It's concise. It points out a few things that the designer/photographer/icon/etc was known for and a few cross-references. Perfect for beginner fashion lovers who need to familiarize themselves with important icons.
It gives very, VERY brief descriptions of people and things in the world of fashion. Needs to be updated!
I don't think I would ever get rid of this book!! Its like a mini encyclopedia!
Seriously one of the best fashion book in that price range!
Lovely to look at and shows the fashion greats.
great photography and history
I liked it. Very interesting.
FASHION HIGH!
I should have bought the bigger edition! It was tiring for the eyes and couldn't fully enjoy the photographs included in the book.
this book is really gud if ur in2 fashion and i found it really helpful doing my fashion essay. the reason why i wud say that it is helpful wud be because it tells u not just about the garment but the photographer and the designer. they also talk about the most popular models.
its a small book wiv a lot of info!

A really small A-Z guide of 500 of the most influential names in fashion since the 1860s.

An excellent, illustrated "micro-reference" with bite-sized synopses of hundreds of designers. Designed to provide more of a feel for a designer's work rather than in-depth analysis.
The large version is the better coffee table book, lie in bed and read book...but this is also nice...Phaidon does good work...

Beautiful pictures of beautiful people in beautiful clothes, but I realise I'll never put in the effort to look this way.
really good basic reference guide to designers and styles, with excellent cross-linking between styles and individuals.
Thanks Patience & Steve!
