Photographs of over 500 garments selected from the Museum's permanent collection illuminate
each of the featured designers, while texts by the curators explain why each designer
is important in fashion history and what is special about the individual pieces featured.
In her introductory essay, director and chief curator Valerie Steele writes about the rise of the fashion museum, and the emergence of the fashion exhibition
as a popular and controversial phenomenon; and both Steele and contributor Suzy Menkes provide a history of this museums role in the world of fashion scholarship and preservation.
Fashion Designers A-Z is available as a series of six Designer Editions. Each edition (a total of 11,000
copies) is bound in a fabric created by one of six designers—Akris, Etro, Stella McCartney,
Missoni, Prada, and Diane von Furstenberg—and comes in a Plexiglas box. Crafted by hand at a bindery in the heart of Italy,
and stamped with a unique number, every copy is an instant classic, and an addition
to your fashion library that is truly one-of-a-kind.
