About Fashion Books

The style-guide shelf comes first. Nicky Hilton appears twice — the 365 Style book post and a style book signing post — because her book was the celebrity style guide of its season; Refinery29 Style Stalking and Savvy Girl: A Guide to Etiquette cover street style and manners. The life-story shelf holds Being Audrey Hepburn and Coco Chanel: Three Weeks 1962, a photo book about the designer's final years. The Stylish Life of Golf, Tennis, and Yachting covers sporting style, and Thru the Eye of French Perfumer: Scent of Triumph tells a fragrance story.

Footwear gets a shelf of its own, which says something about fashion publishing: Art & Sole is an illustrated footwear book, Shoe Are You? is a shoe personality guide, and Best Foot Forward is a book summary post. The craft shelf holds Strange Material: Storytelling Through Textiles and Valuable Insights For Textile and Craft Industries — books about cloth itself rather than clothing. Reality Shock Fashion Believe it or Not rounds the list out as the curiosity entry. Readers who want to browse the standing book resources will find the fashion business books, books directory and bookstore pages in the topic block below.

Fashion books also divide by reader. The style guides and celebrity books in these posts are written for consumers; the textile, pattern making and industry titles in the directories below are written for students and the trade, and a working library usually holds both kinds — inspiration on one shelf, reference on the other. A good fashion book earns its shelf space twice: once as a picture source and once as the place a fact, a date or a technique can be checked.
