Specialist Fashion Publishers and General Illustrated Houses

Fashion publishing divides into two broad camps, and this directory includes both. Specialist education publishers build textbooks: structured books with chapters that follow a course, worked examples, glossaries and further reading, written so a lecturer can teach from them term by term. Fairchild Books is the classic example in fashion education, with more than a century of fashion textbooks behind it. General illustrated publishers build the large-format fashion, art and design books that bookshops display face-out: heavily illustrated, aimed at both students and the wider design audience. Laurence King and Thames & Hudson both work in that tradition, publishing fashion and textiles alongside art, architecture and design. Knowing which camp a title comes from tells a buyer a great deal about how the book is organised and who it was written for.

Publishers for Aspiring Designers and Authors

Not every publisher in this directory sells to students. Harper Arrington Publishing and Media specialises in educating aspiring and established fashion designers on how to start their own clothing line, selling fashion books, manufacturer lists and supplies, and the HADDS (Harper Arrington Digital Design System) software, which lets a designer create lifelike garments on a computer. For a would-be author, the directory works the other way round: it shows which houses actually publish in a given corner of fashion, so a manuscript about pattern making, textiles or starting a clothing line can be offered to a publisher whose list it genuinely fits, using the address, phone, fax and e-mail details carried in the listings.

Using Publisher Lists When Choosing Books

A publisher's wider list is a useful quality signal. A house that publishes many fashion education titles maintains specialist editors, reviewers and illustrators for the subject, and its books are more likely to use industry terminology correctly and to be adopted on courses. When two books cover the same topic, checking which publisher issued each one — and what else that publisher issues in the same field — helps a reader choose the title most likely to match the level, whether that is a first-year textbook, a professional reference or an illustrated survey.
