Every morning, before my workday can officially begin, I must spend a few minutes reading the latest from one of my most important fashion go-to website – style.com! The online bible for everything and anything fashion, their daily blog has inspired me to do so many things from writing to searching for the latest addition to my over crammed closet.
As I was browsing around, I found out about the latest coffee table book to hit the shelves by Financial Times’ fashion editor, Vanessa Friedman. The author decided to write about the world of Pucci and what makes this Italian fashion house timeless to this very day. Many writers have taken this route and have become inspired to create reads both textually and visually appealing. The history behind some of the most famous fashion brands has always been a coffee table favourite including Louis Vuitton: Art, Fashion and Architecture – a praise to one of the most recognized labels in the industry. The purpose of these books is to attract and entertain guests while creating some excellent conversation topics all at the same time.
By far, my absolute favourite has been Influence by Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen. The fashion world’s most stylish twins added yet another to their many titles on top of actresses, designers and most recently, authors. Unlike other designers, these ladies decided to focus not on their countless brands but on the people who have influenced them the most by focusing on other industry talents such as Diane von Furstenberg.
The list goes on when it comes to these books so check out your closest store or library and grab some joe while you’re at it as well!
