Fashion Speak: Interviews with the World's Leading Designers

Description

David Meagher has interviewed the world's leading designers one on one - the people whose creative vision shapes the way we dress today and what we'll be wearing next season. The designers talk about where they've come from, where they're headed, and the future of the industry. They discuss their philosophy of design - where they find inspiration, how they put a collection together, what constitutes good style and how they manage the tension between the creative impulse and the need to run a viable business. Fashion Speak features interviews with top Australian and international designers including: Marc Jacobs, Christopher Bailey (Burberry), Sunjoo Moon, Ennio Capasa (Costume National), Josh Goot,. Adam Lippes, Philip Treacy, Karen Walker, Ozwald Boateng, Akira Isogawa, Liz and Neville Findlay (Zambesi), Nicole and Michael Colovos (Helmut Lang), Martin Grant , and Hedi Slimane. Gorgeously illustrated throughout with full-colour photographs from the catwalks of London, Paris, Milan, New York and Sydney.

David Meagher has written for The Sydney Morning Herald's Domain and Spectrum and been senior writer and fashion editor on The Australian Financial Review Magazine. He is now the editor of the lush WISH magazine published monthly in The Australian. In 2005 he published IT'S NOT ETIQUETTE: A guide to modern manners.
