Review
Is London the fashion capital of the world? It certainly seems that way thanks to this glorious new book, packed with more than 380 arresting photographs and illustrations. Journalist Andrew Tucker's compendium of both legendary and new fashion names revels in the vibrancy of homegrown designer and entrepreneurial talent that makes London such an exciting place to be in the 1990s. A host of cool individuals and happening areas trip off each page--everyone who is anyone is featured, from doyennes of the industry such as Vivienne Westwood and Zandra Rhodes to relative newcomers Abe Hamilton and Stella McCartney. Hip areas across the city are covered, whether they be the traditional shopping enclaves of Knightsbridge or the latest discovery--the area around Old Street in the East End. Indispensable additions include the trendiest shop listings and a varied index of designer biographies.
This bold, beautiful book is much more than just an attractive coffee-table decoration. It is an imaginatively compiled and invaluable guide to the London fashion scene that lives up to its promise that it "will serve as a reminder of how it is, how it was, and how it could be again in the future." Buy it and indulge. --Catherine Taylor
