So there you go! Although I've only actually read the first four, and I would highly recommend them, the rest of the list are books which I think look absolutely amazing (basically this is my own wish list lets be real here) with beautiful photography and insider knowledge on fashion. These are great reads and definitely the kind of books any fashion nerd like myself would enjoy! My top picks (not including 1-4)would be 5, 7, 8, 10, 11, 15 and 19 as these subjects really interest me. Hope this was helpful to any despairing boyfriends/parents/secret santa pairs!
