Fashion Literacy

Fall 2004 Style & Design
Ever wonder what was in Tom Ford's first collection for Gucci or
where the idea for Donna Karan's signature bodysuit came from?
Now is the perfect time to bone up on your fashion history. This
fall Assouline is publishing a trio of designer biographies—The
Journey of a Woman: 20 Years of Donna Karan (228 pages), Carolina
Herrera (208 pages) and Marc Jacobs (80 pages). On the heels of
Ford's final catwalk bow comes Tom Ford (Rizzoli; 384 pages),
which catalogs the meticulous designer's decade of work for Gucci
and Yves Saint Laurent. And when the edifying is done, these
books work even better on the coffee table than by the bedside.
