Fashion & Jewellery

Fashion is often seen as an industry of eccentric personalities and unique, exceptional talents but it's the collaborators, rather than the individuals, who underpin the industry and inspire this book. This stylish volume, compiled by Lou Stoppard, editor-at-large of London's SHOWstudio, delves into the behind-the-scenes worlds of the fashion industry's most intriguing partnerships to explore what, exactly, makes these pairs such magical duos. Featuring eighteen illuminating conversations led by Stoppard, Fashion Together: Fashion's Most Extraordinary Duos on the Art of Collaboration reveals the secrets behind leading fashion luminaries such as Vivienne Westwood and Andreas Kronthaler, Marc Jacobs and Katie Grand, Inez van Lamsweerde and Vinoodh Matadin, Rick Owens and Mich le Lamy, and Stephen Jones and Thom Browne. Never-before-seen photographs and sketches, handwritten notes, and fashion editorials showcase each duo's most memorable work. Profound, funny, and provocative, the conversations range from childhood inspirations to nitty-gritty industry details to advice on how to succeed in the fashion business today.
