An encyclopedia that requires no wiki entries, this book is chock full of top names in the fashion industry, a fresh collection of photography, and a handy glossary of technical terms--so you can look up the real definition of pashmina.

It's great for the coffeetable, sitting next to your Dean & Deluca mugs.

I actually have this book and it's GREAT if you happen to be a fashion student. Before I graduated I found it very useful, especially because of all the pictures and designers listed.

I Love This Book. I am a student studying photography, and this book shows all the photographers, designers, idols and trend setters of fashion. This book gives you a short bio and big photographs (great for making wall collages). I have half this book on my wall right by my bed. If you are ever wondering the start and the constant grow of fashion, get this book, love this book!
