Favourite fashion design books
In-depth reviews of some of the books that have made a deep impression on my design career. The books reviewed range from culture and history to design theory and patternmaking.
This category is slow-growing, but I update it whenever I can. I have a lot of favourite design books in my collection!
My hope is that my recommendations will save you time Googling and ensure that the money you do invest in books is well spent. Please enjoy :-)
