Synopsis

In-depth interviews with Fashion Makers, from famous designers, founders of fashion labels to key figures, unveil the process that creates an alluring design, collection and brand.

With illustrations that offer a fashion feast, we discover why handcraft is so important to Dries Van Noten, why Luella Bartley loves mixing rebellion with traditional English style and why the founder of A.P.C., Jean Touitou, ‘doesn’t make bags for bitches’. But it’s not just the designers or founders of labels who make or break a brand. The Fashion Shapers – editors, stylists, buyers, PR specialists, trend forecasters and educators – reveal their own distinctive roles. What is the editor of British Vogue, Alexandra Shulman, looking for when scouting for emerging talent? How does Jane Rapley, head of Central Saint Martins, decide who will make the next McQueen? Where does Alexandre de Betak get inspiration for the spectacular fashion shows he creates for John Galliano, Hussein Chalayan and Victoria’s Secret? How does Catriona Macnab, head of trends at WGSN, work out what everyone will want to wear next year? And what exactly is the secret to making a fashion label a global success?

This book will be a must-have for every fashion student, every fashion professional and everyone who wants to know what makes fashion function.

External Reviews

"As someone who works in the fashion industry I will most certainly be recommending this book to any graduate or intern to devour as this book gives a well rounded view of the industry from design right through to distribution. As a woman who loves fashion I loved the APc and Luella interviews and this is firmly on my shopping list for xmas presents for my friends . . . Any aspiring designer should be reading this, lots of little nuggets of wisdom for them here . . . hell anyone who enjoys shopping and wearing clothes should be reading this book!"

"The interviews work splendidly as standalone pieces, but the whole also represents more than the sum of the parts. Reading through the book, one compares different interviewee responses to the same questions & discovers a multitude of motivations, approaches & philosophies. This provides an intimate insight into the personalities themselves, but also produces an engrossing overall analysis of fashion & photography today.
The interview questions are often disarmingly simple, but elicit rich & candid responses. This makes the books both highly readable, & inclusive - for the uninitiated it asks the essential "for dummies" introductory questions, while for those in the know it contains abundant discerning & cultivated comment. It's a lovely overall format that is accessible & substantial . . . .& hugely enjoyable." - Google Reviews.

"At the heart of this book is a series of in-depth interviews with famous designers - the Fashion Makers - unveiling the process that creates an appealing design, collection, and brand. Fashion Shapers - editors, stylists, buyers, PR specialists, and educators - also reveal their own distinctive roles." - Sophisticated Living.
