Hi, what an absolute wonderfully interesting book! Loads of colorful photos, verbiage, by designer, very interesting, and if you are into design,and fashion, this is the book with a ton of inspiration. Lovely very large book, great for coffee table, and that student of design for sure. I am interested in fashion and wanted to get some ideas for sewing and what makes some designers tick, their inspiration, passions and how they do it! Got a lot!The book is 11 inches by 8 inches by almost 1.5 inches thick! Drawings, pictures of the designers, their craft and stories. I loved it, Quite interesting indeed.Quote "understanding the importance of skill, passion and craft,, the foundation of great fashion!" YES This book is 345 pages, it will take you awhile to go through it! Also the pages are lovely, thick quality, just overall a lovely book and well made.I hope you find my review helpful, This would make a very unique gift for sure. Some of the designers you might think are out there, but I love the creative souls, as I am one of them, and appreciate their creations and stories! Have fun, this is a great read and a conversation piece of a book! Enjoy! Kat =^.^=
