From all the collections of Christian Dior to the lives and works of John Galliano and Alexander McQueen, including the history of Western costume, here is a selection of the most beautiful works to offer to a fashion lover.
Finding the ideal gift for a fashion fanatic is never an easy task. We can turn to a piece of clothing, a pair of shoes or an accessory, but a size or style problem quickly arises. A gift card to a ready-to-wear store? Why not, but let’s admit that it’s not very personal… When it dries, a beautiful work dedicated to fashion turns out to be a nice gift idea to please a passionate person. With polished covers, exclusive illustrations and texts rich in anecdotes, Books on fashion are as much mines of information as real decorative objects that we proudly display on a bookshelf.

What books to give to a fashion enthusiast?
Several categories of books exist on the shelves of bookstores. For aficionados of fashion and luxury images, a beautiful book whose illustrations are as (or even more) important than the text, we turn to the anthologies of the most beautiful collections of designers who marked their era. The creations of Christian Dior, Coco Chanel, Yves Saint Laurent and Virgil Abloh at Louis Vuitton are featured in a multitude of works. Assouline Editions, known for its beautiful books with very recognizable covers, also have a category of books dedicated to fashion which can be flipped through at will.
For someone who works in the industry or who likes to enrich their fashion culture, we can also imagine offering them a biographical book on a specific designer, an essay on fashion or even a clothing primer.
