Book Review: The Birth of Fashion | 26 Legendary Designers and the Future of Style

Fashion is more than just clothing—it captures the spirit of an era, mirrors culture, and expresses emotion.

 

In this article, I will review a book called the Birth of Fashion.

 


1. Fashion History, Told Visually

to life through comics and vibrant illustrations.

the book explores each designer's life, artistic vision, and brand evolution

in an engaging and easy-to-understand format.

This visual storytelling approach makes fashion history more accessible for readers of all backgrounds.

  • Yves Saint Laurent: Fused masculinity into women's fashion with bold creations like Le Smoking

 

 

  • Vivienne Westwood: Revolutionized British style by blending punk attitude with traditional tailoring

 

 

Each designer’s philosophy and aesthetic leaves a lasting impact on how we define fashion today.

 

3. Where AI Meets Fashion
