Fashion Accessories is a pictorial history of shoes, hats, bags, jewelry and other accessories. The hundreds of illustrations show examples ranging from the Roman era to well into the 20th century, and from all over the world. This book offers a wealth of visual information and inspiration for students, professionals and indeed anyone with an interest in fashion.

Ties, shoes, purses, hats, gloves and glasses...It's not just clothing that determines the magic and image of a fashion house - accessories are becoming ever more important, and open the way for a famous fashion brand to a more general public. "Fashion & Accessories" is the first book to analyse this phenomenon. It contains articles about the function and symbolic value of accessories and unravels their history. The book is richly illustrated and well designed, with lots of examples of the major fashion brands.

‘Yes, some people say to me "You're too skinny", but never a skinny person says that to me, only people who could lose a few pounds say that.' - Karl Lagerfeld Funny, outrageous and damn right rude, Fashion Bites is a must-have for fashionistas, yummy mummies, and anyone who can spot the high street from the Hermes. From Karl to Coco, to Kate Moss, Isabella Blow and more, this witty collection is beautifully illustrated, politically incorrect, and bursting with classic quotes from some of fashion's most stupendous egos. With over 90 luxurious pages, Fashion Bites will entertain, thinspire and is the perfect gift for fashionable friends.

In the same snappy format as the instant bestseller PhotoBox, this anthology offers fresh perspectives on the timeless fashion essentials that define style

T-shirts, blue jeans, a white shirt, the little black dress, the trench, a tailored suit ... Fashion has given us many icons - accessible, attainable pieces that are staples in everyone's wardrobe. Often, an iconic garment becomes inextricably linked to the star who made it famous, from Audrey Hepburn and the little black dress and Diane Keaton working the androgynous look to Grace Kelly in a twinset and Madonna laced into a corset.

This book takes a look at sixteen classic fashion items as worn by the stars who made them famous. Each of the pieces has its own chapter introduced by an essay from fashion writer Antonio Mancinelli, followed by a series of unforgettable photographs of the clothes worn by such stars as Brigitte Bardot, Ursula Andress, Angelina Jolie, Jackie Kennedy, Grace Jones, Lauren Bacall and Emmanuelle Béart.

The seventy fashion brands that appear in this book are selected from the most highly regarded brands for women, men, unisex, and kids; featuring some of the most commonly used marketing tools including logo, shop exterior and interior designs, catalogs, shopping cards and shopping bags, together with seasonal promotional tools. Japanese girls love to keep and use the shopping bags and promotional tools of their favorite fashion brands, and it is a must for a fashion brand to produce "collectible" paraphernalia so as to attract their target audience. Featuring easily accessible page design with each spread showing the brand’s logo alongside the brand concept in text, accompanied by various photos of graphic promotional materials, which give readers a good understanding of how each element of marketing tools are connected to one another. Although this book only focuses on the fashion industry, logos, advertisements, shop designs and tools in the book could be applicable to other industries’ brands and shops. From an independent shop owner to anyone in need of brand recognition, this is a perfect reference full of resources.
