Hello everyone and welcome to the official launch of the Fashion &… Book Club where I’ll be discussing and recommending fashion books that are essential reading for any fashion aficionado! My first recommendation is The Beautiful Fall; Fashion, Genius and Glorious Excess in 1970s Paris by Alicia Drake. This is not only one of my favourite books because it covers one of the most creative and decadent eras in 20th century fashion, but also because at the centre of it all are two of fashion’s luminaries - Yves Saint Laurent, the reclusive rebel, and Karl Lagerfeld, the flamboyant king of reinvention, who divided the 1970s Parisian fashion elite into two rival tribes. If you would like to make the Fashion &… Book Club an actual official book club, you know where we choose a book, read it and get together virtually to discuss themes and designers etc, then please let me know by showing your interest in the comments section below. Just a reminder that you can keep up to date with everything Fashion &… by following @fashionandwithscottschiavone on Instagram (https://www.instagram.com/fashionandwithscottschiavone/) and before you go, don’t forget to SUBSCRIBE to Fashion &… with me Scott Schiavone, Fashion Curator. #fashion #fashionand #fashionbooks #readingisfundemental #bookclub #bookworm #books #fashionhistory #fashionhistorian #fashioncurator #readingisfun #booklovers #fashionandbooks #bookstagram #essentialreading
