24 ESSENTIAL FASHION BOOKS FOR THE CHIC READER

Whether you're updating your wardrobe or digging into the history of design, take a page from the world's foremost fashion experts.

BY LAUREN PUCKETT-POPE AND KRISTEN BATEMAN

Fashion is a notoriously temperamental business, made more so by the mercurial form of the art itself: How do you define style? And once you’ve put your finger on it, how do you make it? Or for that matter, sell it? You likely won’t find the answer without testing out a pair of adventurous pumps or a set of chic loungewear yourself. But if you truly want to be a fashion mogul, it helps to learn from the experts.

Fashion editors, designers, photographers, models, and icons have made an entire literary genre of their memoirs, biographies, and coffee table-ready photo books, many of which cradle nuggets of wisdom you won’t find elsewhere. 

But the true joy of reading about fashion isn’t merely in discovering a good silhouette; it’s in understanding how all the stories are knit together, creating the modern market we know today.

Lavish your bookshelf with these must-read fashion books, covering everything from the history of fabric to the environmental impacts of the industry to the stunning true-crime stories of major houses. It’s the next best thing to New York Fashion Week.

Harper’s BAZAAR has celebrated a lot of firsts: It was the first fashion magazine in the United States, one of the first to publish the works of Andy Warhol, and the first to debut the collections of leading fashion houses. In 152 years, the publication has evolved with the times, chronicling the best in art, photography, society, celebrity, and, of course, style. 

All this history was on view at the Musée des Arts Décoratifs in February, when, in a characteristic first, a standalone exhibition has been devoted to a magazine.

And this tome by Marianne Le Galliard and Éric Pujalet-Plaà, with a forward by by Olivier Gabet and Glenda Bailey, captures all the visual splendor and editorial excellence that have filled the pages of BAZAAR over the decades. 

ure, you got the basics from your freshman-year Textile and Apparel Management class, but how thorough were your notes? Brush up on your studies with this fascinating story, which dives deep into the 30,000-year history of fabric as we know it, accented by the technological advancements and cultural customs that made the material the monolith it is today.
