Fashion Books For Your Holiday Wish List

I’ve never been a big reader but I absolutely love fashion books (probably because they’re mostly made up of large, visually appealing images). I’ve been collecting them for the last few years but there’s always more to add to my wishlist. I compiled some that I already own along with a few that are currently on my mind, but regardless…there’s a fashion book for everyone and these books would make any fashion enthusiast quite the happy camper this holiday season.

Photobucket Fashion for beginners: The Little Dictionary of Fashion

Photobucket For those who don’t mind a little bit of nudity: Kate Moss by Mario Testino

Photobucket A lot of pretty pictures: Harper’s Bazaar Greatest Hits

**I just bought this over the weekend and met Glenda Bailey herself…such an inspirational woman! This book is awesome.

Photobucket Top of the list (Carine can do no wrong): Carine Roitfelt Irreverent

Currently Obsessing Over: Miroslava Duma

I’ve always been intrigued by former Harper’s Bazaar Russia editor Miroslava Duma. I’ve seen her street style photos all over the internet, mostly in the past year or so. But after seeing her in person a few times outside Lincoln Center for the Spring ’12 shows, my obsession was taken to another level. Not only is she stunning but her style just keeps getting better and better. Plus I told her I love her dress (in the orange number below) and she was really sweet about it…she just seems really appreciative of people liking her style, which I think is awesome.

Miroslava is not afraid to take a risk, and she definitely loves color. My kind of girl!
