Format:Hardcover
Great for anyone interested in fashion, very inspirational to students starting out in this area of design. Great to see British design celebrated, and in a book that has great photos and text.
Format:Hardcover
this book is beautifully laid out and presented. It contains some stunning pictures. Have bought as a present for my sister who's studying fashion at A level, so haven't had chance to read it, but if the text lives up to the other details, then it should be good. Looking forward to giving this to my her.
