Stylist: The interpreters of Fashion
My collection of books on fashion is limited to books on photography, magazines, history and so on. In fact, the selection available doesn´t go much further than that. While the stylist is an important part of the fashion industry, there are few books on the subject. So when Style.com decided to fill the gap it was well overdue. The book is called Stylist, the foreword is written by Anna Wintour and it covers stylists like Polly Mellen, Carine Roitfeld, Joe Zee and many others. It is the perfect coffee table book. On 250 pages in hard cover and a decent size you get a book packed with photos. In fact, there´s nearly no text. Good thing cause I usually skip the text in fashion magazines as is. It is so much fun to look through and recognize old editorials and draw lines between looks I earlier had no idea was connected to each other. You can get it for $75 at Rizzoli and it is so worth the money. Amazon is of course also an option, where it´s actually cheaper than the publisher. When moving to a new place I´ll have to pack a lot of my books away, there are just too many of them, but this is one of the few that is secured a place in the living room.

the book sounds interesting, and its good in a way that theres no text, so you can interpret it the way you like. A bit expensive though, but i reckon it would be worth it :)
