I came across this listing of fashion design and textile books ages ago when searching for something specific but have only just got around to closing the tab and bookmarking it. It's a good long eclectic list of all sorts both academic and general interest from:
-- Dior to pattern cutting books,
-- niche areas like Hawaiian shirt design to eyeglass retrospective fashions,
-- designer biographies to the Islamic fashion industry in Turkey,
-- fashion theory to fashion in fiction (literature, film and TV)
-- world fashion to fashion illustration,
-- school projects to subversive fashion sewing
-- quite a few publications on historical costumes from Ancient Egyptian/Mesopotamian and Persian costume and medieval armour to 1960s fashion fabrics
to name but a few!
I warn you there are many more categories that I would have liked to mention...but I really don't want to delay you any longer from clicking the
link right here!
If you have any favourite comprehensive listings of fashion/sewing related books/blogs/videos (ideally with links to the item) etc please share.
