This week I read a quote that corresponded with my
inclination to broaden my knowledge on fashion history. It
read: “Anyone who stops learning is old, whether
at twenty or eighty. Anyone who keeps learning stays young. The greatest thing
in life is to keep your mind young” –Henry Ford. As
a fashion writer, I feel that research is critical, innovative ideas are a
must, and knowing the past only solidifies the future. The
two books I had on my collectors list are; Nostalgia Vogue: The perfect
reference for any fashion forward individual, “Extraordinary images.
Exceptional stories. Authors, artist, and celebrities reflect on the defining
photographic moments from 80 years in Vogue and the evocative memories they
inspire”- via Vogue Magazine, and Grace, A Memoir: devoted to the life story of
the Creative Director of Vogue, Grace Coddington, who I admire for her
extraordinarily chic editorials and witty, candid, yet humble demeanor (via my
observation in “The September Issue” documentary). I
look forward to purchasing each book with a fresh insight.
