Fashion: The 50 Most Influential Fashion Designers of All Time (Icons of Culture) [Hardcover]

Costumer Reviews

I got this book to help with basic background information for my students to reference for their exam and it is just fine for that purpose. However it is a pocket sized book and only has limited photos to accompany the text.

I was quite surprised and ultimately disappointed to receive this tiny edition featuring the world's leading designers over the past one hundred years. I was expecting a 'larger than life' book as the cover looked very enticing.

Worse, the editorial was merely a bland overview and nothing new was revealed. Many influential designers were also omitted from the text as well, especially from the 1960s and 1970s.

It's a shame the publisher didn't allow the author more editorial pages and pictorial spreads. I think then, they would've had a gem on their hands.

My rating reflects more on the style of book.

Having said that, the book is not expensive so if you're wanting a quite reference book on the Who's Who of the Fashion Industry, then this is a neat edition for your desk.
