Best Fashion Books

We find in this book the world of haute couture. It is glamorous, it is creative, it is revolutionary. From names like Jean Patou who created fashion design in the 20s and 30s to Coco Chanel, Elsa Schiaparelli who collaborated with Salvador Dali, Mary Quant that created for youth culture the wave “swinging sixties” to Giani Versace, Calvin Klein, Ralph Lauren, Guccio Gucci, Philip Treacy, Levi Strauss and many others.

“Small in size but filled with information and insights, each Icons of Culture title is a collection of brief, pithy, and enlightening biographies of men and women who have made their mark and left lasting influences in the lively arts. Scattered among these capsule biographies are two-page overviews that examine various aspects of the art. Handsomely designed and accessible to laypersons, these books make fine quick-reference sources while also providing enjoyable reading for inquisitive minds. Illustrations in color and black and white on most two-page spreads.”

You can buy it from Barnes & Noble at the price of $9,72.
