Lord, I have scads of books on fashion, and would be hard-pressed to choose a favorite.

Lauren Goldstein Crowe's book, The Towering World of Jimmy Choo, is an intriguing look at the business of fashion.

I adored D.V., Diana Vreeland in her own words, and Alicia Drake's The Beautiful Fall: Fashion, Genius, and Glorious Excess in 1970s Paris is a fascinating, dual biography of Karl Lagerfeld and Yves Saint-Laurent.

Richard Martin's Cubism and Fashion and Jacques Damase's Sonia Delaunay: Fashion and Fabrics are both interesting looks at the conjunction of art and fashion.

You guys need reviving. I loved Love, Loss and What I Wore. I found The Towering World of Jimmy Choo to be depressing. It seems that the things that made fashion interesting have been completely commiditized to the point that nothing matters, but the label.

I found The Towering World of Jimmy Choo to be depressing.

It was. Choo no longer has any connection with the label that bears his name. It's really sad.

I just gave you guys a group picture. Hopefully, that will attract some fashion fiends.

I'm working my way through Fashion: The Collection of the Kyoto Fashion Institute. Published by Taschen, it is massive. Great pics and very technical. I'm just up to the section on stomachers.
