Modni Babilon

Modni Babilon

Imogen Edwards-Jones

Whether you just enjoy shopping superficially or are a die-hard fan of it, "Fashion Babylon" will irrevocably change the way you shop, flip through the pages of Vogue and worship the cult of Harvey Nichols.

What is fashion? What is in? Who decides that? Why is green in fashion one year and red the next? One season, a dress from your grandmother's closet, and the next, hi-tech fabrics? Is everyone in the fashion world on cocaine, and the only drink they admit to is champagne? What exactly are the qualities a girl must have to be called a supermodel and how are they different from a top model? Who owns whom? Who hates who? And who keeps his hand in someone else's pocket?

The book "Fashion Babylon" got under the tailor-made skin of the fashion industry, with the intention of taking readers through six months in the life of an average designer. He explains how the collection is put together, how it ends up on the catwalks and on the covers of prestigious magazines. The story of who goes to the fashion shows, where they sit in the auditorium and what really goes on backstage introduces key places and people in this peculiar world where women are paid thousands just to get out of bed in the morning and where the wrong length of a skirt can career.

Neatly tailored and brilliantly detailed, crazy, witty and wicked, the novel "Fashion Babylon" is a guide through price increases and reductions, fantastic extremes and short cuts - in short, the background of the elitist, secret world of fashion and beauty.
