Fsshion Babylon Iby mogen Edwards-Jones

From the bestselling authour Hotel Babylon comes Fashion Babylon woh gets under the skin of the fashion industry. What is fashion? What is fashionable? Who decides what is in? What is out? Why is it green one year, and blue the next? Why is one little black dress worth three thousand pounds and another thirty quid? Is the catwalk that catty? Is everyone high on drugs and full of champagne? What makes a supermodel so super? And a designer too hot to touch? Who is making the money? Who owns who? Who hates who? "Fashion Babylon" will take you through six months in a designer's life. Starting at the end of one catwalk show, it will explain how a collection is put together - from the rail of found objects, to how it gets on to the catwalk, into the shops and onto the covers of a magazine.
It will tell you who goes to the shows, where they sit and whose backside one needs to kiss to get there. It discusses the money and commerce behind one of the most international, lucrative and secretive of businesses. I really, really, really enjoyed this book and am glad I read it and finished it within 24 hours...
