I’d also suggest “The Luxury Strategy” or “On Luxury” both by Jean-Noël Kapferer. Even though some of the info are outdated now, his book has been fundamental to better understand the business of fashion and luxury (fashion copywriter here!) x
omg i needed this!!! justo estaba buscando libros en modas -sobretodo enfocado en estilismo- tendrías algunas recomendaciones más enfocadas en ese medio?
I’m a medical student but I loveee seeing, watching and reading things about fashion. I also dream of having a career in fashion😅. Can’t wait to get into these🤭
LOVED The Chiffon Trenches. It's definitely a book you have to read between the lines and with a grain of salt since it's penned by Andre and there's always implicit bias, but I thought he did a great job of being fair and equitable.
I also STRONGLY recommend Anna's biography by Amy Odell—another great one to read between the lines about the industry.
I know this is in no particular order but as a girlie doing a degree in Fashion Marketing, what should be my first read?
I think Deluxe is a strong one to start with, it gives a great yet more general overview of the industry as a whole!
I’d also suggest “The Luxury Strategy” or “On Luxury” both by Jean-Noël Kapferer. Even though some of the info are outdated now, his book has been fundamental to better understand the business of fashion and luxury (fashion copywriter here!) x
Much appreciated, thank you ♡
Great reading list. Leon Talley’s Chiffon Trenches is next up on my books to read and can’t wait for it.
It’s fabulous! You’ll love it.
Thank you, looking forward to diving into these recommendations!
I recommend Edward Enninful's biography too. It puts such an emphasis on his work and why he creates the way he does—also, it's such a tear-jerker.
And Diana Vreeland's biography (the one she authored, not the other) purely for whimsy and joy lol
yes “a visible man” was fabulous!! and I’ll check out diana’s biography thank you for the rec ◡̈

Please read Bill Cunningham Fashion Climbing. SUCH a great read that I didn’t expect to enjoy as much as I did.
I always recommend listening to Chiffon Trenches too. ALT narrates it and that made it all the more magical for me.
