Miss Drey's Favorite books of the week

Hi guys!

Each week I will go through my bookshelves and introduce you to my favorite books...
After my post about "inspiration from fashion", I'll continue on the subject...

Atlas of fashion designers

“The traditional demarcation line of fashion – London, Paris, New York and Milan – is changing its original boundaries. Humanity is too rich, heterogeneous, multicultural and dynamic to center its attention exclusively on these four cities. While we continue to view these places as the neuralgic centers of fashion, we are increasingly paying attention to designs coming out of different parts of the world, ones that promise to explode the panorama of international fashion in the years ahead.”

-Atlas of Fashion Designers

The fashion industry itself is incredibly diverse, and while the notion of ‘fashion’ is disregarded by some and lovingly embraced by others, it nonetheless remains an enormous field of artistic creativity. Fashion designers create artwork with a function, adorning the human body with all manners of material in an effort to intrigue or seduce; each article of clothing speaking with its own voice on the behalf of its wearer.

This book has brought together images and information on the very finest in the fashion industry today. Designers from around the globe bring unique perspectives and interpretations of what fashion can be in the modern age, so if you need info for research, reference for artwork, or if you just love fashion, check it out!

Fruits

A collection of Tokyo street fashion portraits from Japan's premier street fanzine of the same name, first established by photographer Shoichi Aoki in 1994. With an extensive collection of portraits and cult images that uniquely documents the changing face of street fashion throughout the last decade.

This litte piggy went to prada

For the woman more accustomed to singing Missoni's praises than singing lullabies comes Amy Allen's irresistible This Little Piggy Went to Prada: Nursery Rhymes for the Blahnik Brigade. Filled from cover to cover with sumptuous full color illustrations by Eun-Kyung Kung, This Little Piggy Went to Prada presents classic nursery rhymes with a thoroughly modern and charmingly ironic spin that will make the most sleepless fashionista mom smile, even when she's knee-deep in diapers.


“Nursery rhymes have never been so fashionable…Can any stylish mother resist its name-dropping charms?” (London Times )

“A beautifully designed collection of irreverent nursery rhymes updated for ‘the Blahnik Brigade’” (Time Out London )

“Posh new nursery rhymes…In This Little Piggy Went to Prada, Amy Allen rewrites childhood standards with a designer bent.” (PAGE 6, New York Post )

“The book that fashion lovers should know by heart…It’s the new must have…it guarantees you a giggle.” (Vogue (UK) )

“The must-have accessory for the Birkin-toting and Blahnik-wearing yummy mummy.” (Harper's Bazaar )

“A perfect gift for the new mother nostalgic for the freedom of single life.” (Daily Mail (London) )

“Any new mom who loves her designer labels will appreciate This Little Piggy Went to Prada.” (Hello (UK) )

catwalking

Whereas the first models to grace the catwalks were hired from the ranks of seamstresses and paid wages on par with floorsweepers, the model turned supermodel of the 80s and 90s has become the ultimate dream of self-made success.

Catwalking is a stunning look at the world of the fashion industry and modelling, illustrated with a wealth of rare photographs and graphic material.

I hope you enjoyed...

Love, Miss Drey.
