Over the last 180 years designers have propelled fashion from an
elite craft into a cornerstone of popular culture. This brilliantly
written guide to the lives and collections of 55 iconic fashion
designers draws on the latest academic research and the best of
fashion journalism, including the authors' own interviews with
designers. Beginning with 19th century couturier Charles Frederick
Worth and concluding with the star names of the 2010s, Polan and
Tredre detail each designer's working methods and career highlights
to capture the spirit of their times. This beautifully illustrated
revised edition features five new designer profiles: Hedi Slimane,
Raf Simons, Phoebe Philo, Alessandro Michele and Demna Gvasalia.
It's also been updated throughout to reflect a fashion world in
constant ferment, with designers swapping jobs and fashion houses
at unprecedented speed. The industry has expanded into a global
phenomenon - and designers have emerged as true celebrities; The
Great Fashion Designers explores their passion and flair to show us
fashion at its most inspirational.
