Whether you want to learn more about one of your favourite fashion figureheads, understand more about fast fashion’s footprint or dig into the history of a house, take a page from one of these tomes. Whether you love to read memoirs, delve into a biography or are looking for a new coffee table book, there’s a book for every kind of fashion-obsessed reader.
