They say Knowledge is power & wisdom is knowing how to put
that power to use. As an avid reader myself, I believe there is no better way
to gain that knowledge and to learn how to use it than Books. People also say
Books are a Human’s best friend; well, after Dogs of course.
It does not matter whether you are an aspiring Fashion
Designer or already an accomplished Fashion Designer, reading is going to help
you expand your horizons and in this post I have brought you a list of Top
Fashion Designing books that every Fashion Designer must read or
should have read.
While some of these books will help you understand the
History of Fashion & the great battles of Fashion Houses or Brands and the
wars of models on the Ramp/Runway the others will help you learn several
aspects & techniques of Fashion
Design itself.
So, without further Ads, Let’s jump onto the list of
books. Shall We?
