| In advance of interviewing Amber Butchart later this week (more of that below), we were lucky enough to be sent her new book, Fashion Miscellany. Before even opening Fashion Miscellany, you are struck by how beautifully it is presented, with a gorgeous hardback cover (in dare I say it, cerulean) and traditional gold lettering. The book is organised much like a glossary and as such is easy to dip in and out of. It is full of so much interesting information and covers all areas of fashion, from youth subcultures to tailoring terms, and fashion documentaries to Karl Lagerfeld's cat! The tone of the book is very conversational, like a friend imparting a fact they've just learnt over tea and cake. |
