Description
Anyone simply interested in the world of fashion, or considering going into the industry, will be keen to buy this book. We are constantly bombarded by images from the fashion world - posh frocks leap out from the pages of glossy magazines, billboards, TV and film. From the super models in Elle and Vogue to the Beckhams in Hello and OK!, the profile of fashion in our design-conscious world has never been higher. Discover who the first fashion victims were, and that it was men who made and wore the first corsets. Find out about the different professions that make up the industry, from button-makers to cutters, buyers and stylists, and where to train. Read about our buying habits and the design classics of the 20th century. All the essentials to set you on your way.
