Fashion & Design Books

Fashion books work on a shelf the way fashion works on a person: it is the spine and the scale that do the job before anything is opened. The Little Book of series is the most giftable of them, small, cloth-bound and priced so you can add one to something else without it becoming an extravagance.

The larger design titles cover objects rather than clothing, which makes them the better choice for someone who cares about how things are made more than what is in season. Both sit comfortably on a coffee table, and the small ones stack neatly on a bedside.

Collecting the series? The full run sits together in Little Book of Fashion.

What is the Little Book of series?
A set of small format, cloth-bound books, each covering one fashion house or designer through its defining pieces and moments. They are collected as a set as often as they are bought singly.

Are they reading books or picture books?
Mostly a mix. The small format titles run to concise text with illustration, while the larger design books lean on photography with essays alongside.

Which one should I start with?
The house the person already wears, or already talks about. Failing that, Chanel and Dior are the two that suit almost anyone with an interest in fashion.

Do they work as a small gift?
They are one of the better ones. Small enough to pair with a candle or a card, substantial enough not to read as an afterthought.
