From stunning coffee table books to juicy tell-alls:
Given the creative nature of the industry, people who work in fashion are frequently looking for inspiration, from all sorts of material — films, visual art, travel, history and, certainly, books. From stunning coffee table books to juicy tell-alls to novels that aren't technically about fashion, we asked some of our favorite fashion people to share the tomes that have inspired them over the years. Ahead, their picks.
"Everything I create I see as an act of service because I'm honoring the women we are and the women we want to be. I'm a female accessory designer making products for other women to live their lives in. I really favor ingredients/materials — process/technique — to arrive at a beautiful end result in both my cooking and my craft.
Becca McCharen-Tran, founder, CEO and creative director of Chromat"The first book that comes to mind is Terry Agins's 'The End of Fashion.' I read it over 10 years ago, before starting Chromat, and it really helped me understand how the fashion industry works before ever entering it. I'm sure it's more of a time capsule now and possibly less relevant, as so much has changed since then, with wholesale versus DTC and digital marketing.
Han Chong, founder and creative director of Self-Portrait"'Ren Hang' by Taschen. I was admiring his works long before the book came out. He has such a unique vision and personal signature in his works. His provocative and passionate point of view, which also goes beyond shock value [is inspiring]. He captures not only the flesh, but raw emotions. His works are contemporary classic, uncompromising creativity.
"Discovering Vionnet and her work had changed my perspective on fashion. I was studying art history at Columbia University, and my study abroad experience was my first exposure to fashion as a discipline. It was incredible to see the connection between ancient Greek art and Vionnet's work and how she beautifully captured form and movement. This was the first time that I understood fashion is a part of a greater cultural discourse.
Jonathan Cohen, co-founder and designer of Jonathan Cohen"'Tom Ford' — I bought this book when I was moving to NYC and it changed the way I viewed fashion. Tom is a genius at marketing and creating a world that was extremely desirable. He taps into the dream of fashion and how to create it into a business. The photos are amazing and it's a must for anyone who wants a career in fashion.
