Stylemakers. Inside Fashion

Mehr zum Buch

Where do designers' ideas come from? How are those ideas transformed into items in a clothing collection? Who informs the public of fashion trends? The multi-billion-dollar fashion industry is chronicled endlessly in magazines & newspapers from Vogue to People to the New York Times; millions of readers, observers, and shoppers follow the styles from season to season. Stylemakers: Inside Fashion is a fascinating glimpse into contemporary fashion design. The authors have interviewed & photographed trend forecasters, art directors, illustrators, creative directors, editors, & stylists to compile a "who's who" of style & fashion in the United States. Many of the names are familiar--Hal Rubenstein of InStyle magazine, illustrator Ruben Toledo, Bernard Arnault of LVMH, stylist Polly Allen Mellon, photographer Kelly Klein, & Fern Mallis of "fashion week" in New York--while many are known only in the fashion community. Together these individuals represent all facets--public & private--of the fashion world.
