Glam but first coffee
Fashion books you must have to read and others that look beautiful on your coffee table. Coffee tables or interior decor fashion books can also be a great Christmas gift for 2021. I only share with you products that I either have, or want myself, and with fashion books, nothing has changed.
Let me know if I forgot some fashion books you would include in the list and which you will get! Hopefully, I get rich enough soon to finally buy fashion books only for my interior. However, the problem is I also do not have an interior appropriate for luxurious books- who can relate? The blog post includes affiliate links to provide you with free content!
Fashion books to read
The fashion designer survival guide
Fashion book for anyone who dreams to work in the fashion industry especially as a fashion designer. The most crucial guide into learning how to run your own fashion business!
Girlboss (Nasty Gal)
Girlboss is the book of the founder of Nasty Gal. I have seen the mini TV show on Netflix about the founder. Therefore, I am not sure if I want to read a book because I know the story already. However, I will always prefer books before shows and movies. Books make me fantasize and imagine things in my mind. Do you prefer movies or books?
The little dictionary of fashion by Dior
A guide for any fashion lover who wants to learn more about style and the sense of fashion. The dictionary is written by the one and only- Christian Dior. Who else would you listen to when it comes to fashion?
Fashionopolis: the price of fast fashion and the future of clothes
If you are worried about global warming and too much waste, learn more about fast fashion and how it affects the world. A book that brings an important and serious message that we all should pay attention to while shopping.
D.V. by Diana Vreeland (Vogue editor)
If you do not know who Diana Vreeland is- I did not know either! Diana Vreeland is funny and charming, the fashion editor of Harper’s Bazaar and editor-in-chief of Vogue. She is a woman who helped define the world of high fashion!
The battle of Versailles by Robin Givhan
The book is about the story of when American fashion went to Versailles. I did not know the story of 1973 and how the social elite went to the Palace of Versailles for the international fashion show. The history sounds curious and exciting!
Kate Spade New York: All in good taste
I want to read All in good taste only because it was made by Kade Spade. Kate Spade is one of my go-to fashion brands. The book is New York Times Bestseller. All in good taste is a guide filled with ideas and rules for the modern-day hostess.
Inside Haute couture: behind the scenes at the Paris Atelier
Do you want to look into French Parisian addresses? Exclusive guide and tour into ten meccas of French fashion! The book showcases the best ateliers, their artisans, and their creations.
Shoe Dog by Phil Knight
Shoe Dog is one of the books from the list that I have read (almost, still reading). The book is about the founder of Nike- Phil Knight, and his tough career path to create Nike. Isn’t that crazy to think that such a huge brand took years to make and experienced a lot of downfalls? Therefore, I try to inspire and motivate people to never give up. Keep going even if it seems that it does not pay off, but one day it will!
Fashion of Lady Diana
Princess Diana is my icon and always will be. When Diana was killed, I was little and do not remember a lot from that day! However, mentally it still affected me. Princess Diana is such a style icon that even now Gen-Z wears her style thinking it is them who came up with it. Who was the one wearing hoodies and biker shorts? This would also be a beautiful book for a coffee table because I am sure that not many have seen the book and would be interested to open it up!
How to be Parisian?
Real Paris and France fans need to have a How to be a Parisian book! We can discuss Paris a little bit. I have been to Paris a few times, and I love and hate Paris at the same time. Paris is overrated, dark, rainy, sad, people in hurry, crazy traffic, smells bad. However, Paris has some kind of atmosphere in the air that makes me excited and happy to always experience.
Fashion books for coffee table
Tom Ford
One of the most popular coffee table books, and also one of the most expensive is the Tom Ford book. A huge, black, minimalistic, and aesthetic book that will look great on your coffee table. I wonder how many people open the book up and see at least half of it!
Chanel The impossible collection Book by Alexander Fury
The iconic Chanel book is an art itself and also costs the whole travel! Chanel’s book is very pricey, and I was shocked to see the price. However, if you have that coin and love luxury, go ahead and grab one for yourself!
Coco Chanel: the illustrated world of a fashion icon by Megan Hess
However, here you have a more affordable option that is very aesthetic and beautiful. The cover is in black with golden letters, and even the side of the pages are in gold tones. Megan Hess has one of the most beautiful illustrations, and therefore I included two of her books. However, there are even more if you are interested. The book shows the life and influence of 50 years since the death of Coco Chanel.
The Rihanna book
Book for all the Rihannas fans that want to find more about her life. Visual autobiographies are the best. In my opinion, visual autobiographies are more interesting and easier to understand. I think autobiographies can be very boring to read. At first, I did not understand why Rihanna now is in the fashion industry. However, she launched her lingerie brand Savage x Fenty that I dream about collaborating with!
Mary Kate and Ashley Olsen influence
Not many people are or have been fans of Mary Kate and Ashley Olsen. I feel like when people were fans of Britney Spears and Lindsey Lohan or Hillary Duff, I was obsessed with Olsen twins. However, I do not support children stars, and I think it ruined their life at some point!
Alicia Drake the beautiful Fall
Drake Alicia showcases the high-chic fashion wars in Paris in the 1970s between Yves Saint Laurent and Karl Lagerfeld.
In Paris: 20 Women on Life in the City of Light Jeanne Damas and Lauren Bastide
This seems like such an inspiring book for any woman. The story of city life and twenty women living the fashion and city life!
