But as I promised, today I will talk about my absolute #1 favourite source of inspiration and love. Books.
I can't get enough of them. Seriously.
I am an absolute book worm, always have been.
Now, if you're thinking "OMG! I HATE reading!" don't fret! These books I'll show you are mostly just picture books. (Gotta love Taschen!)
If there was only one thing I could teach you with this post, it would have to be: Know your background, know your history!
Learning how things first started is essencial if you want to create something new. You have to understand how it all began to be able to develop it further!
With that said, most of the books in my list are books that show us the history of fashion.
I took the time to seperate a few of them that I think you should go running to the book shop to buy them now. And I mean NOW!
From left to right: Fashion Design 1800-1940, La Moda del Siglo XIX en Detalle, Chanel and Her World, 1000 Dessous, Fashion Illustrator, and A random Thierry Mugler book from a brazilian collection (you'll understand why a "random book" is on the list later)
And Century Girl! I absolutely heart this book. Oops cuz I forgot to include it in the original pile of books. But its huge anyway, so I guess it looks better on it's own.
Now for a closer look at each book, just so you can see why they are all so inspiring!
