In our fast digital society, there is something very soothing in
the reading of a book. I find it a perfect way to relax and at the same
time it is a very inspiring act. Especially when you think of the amount of
time the author has put up to create this piece for you to enjoy. Lately there
has been a trend of fashion journalists, bloggers and designers that are
writing up their ideas about different areas in the fashion industry. Some of
them are definitely must-reads for people interested in everything related to
fashion. But even if you’re not, it’s still cool to get a glimpse into their
cool lives. I’ve composed a kind of top 3 of interesting books that should be
on your to-read list.
Grace: a memoir by Grace Coddington
This book is hyping like crazy at the moment! Grace seems to be
everywhere from the cover i-D to our bookshelves. The 71-year-old red head is a
former model turned US Vogue fashion editor who featured in the documentary
‘The September issue’. She is the right hand of the queen of fashion Anna
Wintour. And after her success in the Vogue documentary she decided to write
down her memoirs. The cool lady visited London yesterday to do a book signing,
which led a massive row of stiletto girls to Browns.
The Sartorialist: Closer by Scott Schuman
A picture-led publication and the second book from Scott Schuman, the
man behind the famous blog ‘The Sartorialist'. He is one of the biggest
influences on streetstyle ever. His first book was a major success and this
second one will make you travel the whole world to have a closer look at
people’s style. This book can serve as a real inspirational tool if you have a
closet full of clothes and nothing to wear.

Impact: 50 years of CFDA by Cathy Horyn and Diane Von Furstenberg
This book is a fantastic archive of great American designers. The
Council of Fashion Designers of America celebrated its 50th birthday
this year which was a great occasion for CFDA president Diane Von Furstenburg
to put some inspiring designs in the spotlight. The book also contains the
history of CFDA and accompanied the exhibition that was put together as a
celebration.
