Fashion Now 2 edited by Terry Jones and Susie Rushton
A book bought for me by my brother. A ‘coffee table’ book. Great images selected by i-D. 160 designers, very interesting read but as the text is so small, I found myself flicking through most of it. One to keep.
The Batsford Book of Sewing by Ann Ladbury
An old school book I bought in a charity shop because I think the old methods are often the best and the most logical. Straightforward book with diagrams and easy to follow instructions with great explanations of different sewing techniques.
Metric Pattern Cutting for Women’s Wear by Winifred Aldrich (5th Ed)
For those who don’t know where to start, or who have some experience in pattern cutting and want to keep creating. An easy to follow book, with terminology explained, size charts and pattern cutting for almost every traditional style under the sun.
Design Your Fashion Portfolio by Steven Faerm
A must have for all fashion students (not just those in final year). Has tips, examples and is simple to follow. Methods to designing and building your own collection. Provides a great framework and foundation for study.
Interior Design Course by Mary Gilliatt
A very informative and well laid out book (surprise, surprise!). When I was considering studying interior design, another gift from my brother. I think he’s been trying to tell me that I need to read more. All these years and it’s only now that I understand. I blame the internet entirely. A good book divided into manageable sections which at the time of my little understanding of the subject really opened my eyes. Highly recommend.
What Every Woman Should Know by Christopher and Kirsty Hudson Edited by Sarah Rickayzen
Newspaper clippings, photographs and illustrations of the 1930s covering cookery, home, lifestyle, fashion and beauty. A great insight into the trends of the era and very well put together. Fascinating book.
A Corner of the Heart by Jessica Stirling
The 1930s and the approach of war is intertwinned with love and friendship. A great read for this era’s lovers.
