The beginning chapter is great, explaining the "end of fashion" - clearly organized and interesting. However, much of the rest of the book was a poorly organized slow read. It starts with some history of the "old" French labels, then it goes all over the place, in chapters devoted to individual designers or pairs of designers. There is little rhyme or reason in those chapters, and everything seems to happen from the late 1960's until the late 90's, so much of it is contemporaneous and it is hard to see what point the author is making about the evolution of fashion. The worst part of the book, however, is that it is dated - it talks of labels that nobody cares about, or about movie stars and events that were relevant in the 80's up to mid 90's - the early Clinton days are as hip as it gets. <br /> <br />Overall, if you are interested either in the design aspects of fashion, or the business side, you are better off trying to find better reading somewhere else.

There were sections in the book where I became bored mostly due to the amount of information being presented at once. This occured more with the chapters on designers I wasn't particulary interested in so other readers may feel differently. There were also a few designers in the book for which I wished more of their back story was presented but I suppose there are always biographies for that.
