The Secondhand Dress

Fashion Visionaries is the only compendium anyone with a fashion book collection needs to own.

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 14 June 2015

Fashion Visionaries features 75 of the most legendary fashion designers with in-depth profiles on vintage names such as Chanel and Dior. The broadly chronological order, individual timelines for each designer's career, and key facts make this the perfect book for those wanting a history of twentieth century fashion, and the only compendium anyone with a fashion book collection needs to own. Linda Watson herself has an illustrious career, having worked for three of the visionaries in the book (Vivienne Westwood, Celia Birtwell and the late Jean Muir), and is a former Vogue writer.
