New York: Rizzoli, 1998. First Edition. Hardcover. Fine/Fine. New York: Rizzoli, 1998. First Edition. Hardcover. Fine/Fine. Hardback. 1st Edition. Fine/Fine.
Charts the rise of the London fashion scene from the 1960s to publication date (1998), and attempts to answer the question, 'What is it about London that makes it such a hotbed of creativity?' Focusing both on the catwalk and behind the scenes, here is a vast panorama of talents, from Vivienne Westwood, Paul Smith, Alexander McQueen, John Galliano, Ketherine Hamnett, and Zandra Rhodes to edgy, up-and-coming designers including Julien MacDonald, Hussein Chalayan, Owen Gaster, and Antonio Berardi. And where would these be without London's hatters (Philip Treacy), shoemakers (Patrick Cox and Manolo Blahnik), designers of scarves and textiles (Georgina von Etzdorf), and jewelers? The book visits the favourite haunts of the cognoscenti, dishing up London's fashion heroes and heroines, models, muses, punks, party-goers, and poseurs - everyone that contributes to the buzz that makes London the epicenter of the fashion world. Includes biographies of all of London's hottest designers (at publication date), with a comprehensive reference section listing the city's best fashion sources (with map). Illustrated with hundreds of pictures by some of Britain's best fashion photographers and illustrators. An essential reference work for designers, students, observers and/or wearers of fashion. Contains 192 pages, 30 x 24cm, and illustrated throughout with colour and b&w photos and artwork. Blue cloth boards in Fine pictorial dust jacket. Internally, Fine: clean, bright and unmarked in excellent bindings. Looks, feels and smells like new.
