Description

Written by an expert whose fashion knowledge extends around the globe, The Fashion Design Directory presents an enticing panorama of around 150 of the most influential players in the world of fashion from the beginning of the 20th century to the present day - the people and companies who have shaped contemporary fashion and defined the modern perception of style. Engaging, informative text sets the scene for each designer - their origins, their ethos and their pathway to success - while striking runway images showcase statement looks and pieces from each designer's career. Together, they give a compelling overview of their defining collections and labels.
