Feed Your Manolo Obsession....
As a woman and a fan of shoes, I'm here to tell you that you can't get any better than Manolo Blahnik. His creations are sexy, stylish, and comfortable. And thanks to Sarah Jessica Parker and "Sex & the City", they are all the rage. But there is one tiny problem...they are also VERY expensive. For those of us that can't afford to run down to Neiman Marcus and slap down $600.00 for these sexy ...

Gaultier fans--this is the book you've been waiting for!
Colin McDowell's peek into the wild world of Jean Paul Gaultier is both long overdue and well worth the wait! From his earliest childhood memories to his 2000 couture show and all points inbetween, McDowell reveals all in the same manner Gaultier designs his collections--with wit, irreverence, and style! This lavishly illustrated book has pictures and sketches (sadly, not Gaultier's own) ...

The Man of Fashion: Peacock Males and Perfect Gentlemen

Witty Decadence
I picked up a signed copy of this while living in London and was thrilled to finally find a book that addressed exuberance in masculine attire. Since then, I have discovered the extensive exuberance of male costume throughout the World and this book seems less impressive. It covers male clothing from Christian cultures, and is heavily influenced by the anti-luxury and anti-sex stance of ...

Fashion,Fantasy & Tons of History to BOOT!
I'm mad for Colin McDowell who must be the patron saint of fashion information professionals! This book has got it all, great photos, shoe sketches, acurate history and even shoe fantasy. I love to use this book to show our students that mules are not a twentieth century invention by Candies. Please take heed this is not a weekend reader for it contains quite a bit of text but, it is great to ...

Fashion Today

Phaidon Press, 2000

One of the best fashion writers. Another Must-Have!
I have always loved the writings of Colin McDowell: from "The Designer Scam" to "Man of Fashion" and "Galliano." His latest, "Fashion Today," is truly the crowning achievement. Each chapter can be read as an individual essay. The writing has the same combination of criticism and appreciation--and true understanding of fashion--that is characteristic of McDowell. And the photographs--some are rare ...

Galliano

This book is a tresure to all who appreciate fashion !
If one wants an insight into the mind of the most creative force in fashion, this is the book to get! The escentric John Galliano has been praised as the greatest fashion stylist and designer of our time (all of this praise was given at such a young time in his career).This beautiful book proves why Galliano is the fashion force that he is. A "work in progress" is the term the author uses to ...

Enjoying reading a different perspective of Diana's Life
Although I am still reading through this book, I am enjoying reading details about the fashion side of her life. It's a nice change from speculation about the rest of her life. The pictures of her fashion style bring back pleaseant memories of how I would like to remember the princess, as the beautiful woman she was. The commentaries from the designers are also loving written and offer details ...

Ralph Lauren: The Man, the Vision, the Style

Not enough on "the Style"
I am a Ralph Lauren fan, but like others who've reviewed this title, I was disappointed that there weren't more photos of the beautiful clothes -- the style -- from the archives. I had hoped to see more fashion than what was included. In a recent fashion magazine tribute, for example, there were several pieces of wonderful fashion from the archives -- a military jacket, tuxedo jacket, etc -- that ...

Coats! Max Mara: 55 Years of Italian Fashion
Enrica Morini, Colin Mcdowell

Skira, 2007

COATS! Max Mara will delight thousands of women who secretly slip on "my Max Mara" just for pleasure-and millions more who still wish they had gone ahead and bought that unforgettable coat. The publication of this book coincides with a traveling exhibition that includes more than 50 classic coats from the company archives, accompanied by numerous images and sketches showing their design development. The illustrations are highlighted by special ...

Hats: Status, Style and Glamour

Rizzoli, 1992

Hats from every angle - in texts and pictures (GREAT!!!)
For me, this is the most comprehensive book on the subject that is available - and that includes several out-of-print-books as well. The pictures are great, often full-page, mostly in colour. The texts cover every angle of hat history, style, trade, designers, and everything else you can think of. The pictures cover all kinds of hat styles, usually putting traditional or classic shapes in ...

She had an innate understanding of the image she wanted to portray' Jasper Conran 'She knew what she liked and what she wanted, and it was nothing necessarily to do with what was fashionable' Anna Harvey, Vogue Lavishly illustrated with over 100 striking images, and original designer sketches, the exquisitely designed ...
