Whether you trawl markets for pre-loved clothing that's in need of repair, or want to do your bit for the planet by sustainably updating your existing wardrobe, you'll find plenty of inspiration here. Take "make do and mend" one step further by not just mending but repurposing your old clothes to create fashionable, unique items. Janine Chisholm Sullivan, an experienced dressmaker, teaches you how to rework clothes into new styles—from adding embellishments and changing necklines, sleeves, and hems to total transformations, such as creating a brand new dress from two old ones. Make a pretty blouse from a floral dress, or convert a man's shirt into a stylish shirt dress. Take a basic woolen skirt and bring it bang up to date with an asymmetric hem, or add interest to a plain top with an embellished collar made using a linen table doily. With step-by-step artworks and a comprehensive sewing techniques section, three full-size patterns, and advice on sourcing vintage clothes, Fashion Hacks has everything you need to know to create a wardrobe that's all your own.

Book excerpt: * Books * Artists * News * About * Contact * Book Club * PressLog in or Join our Book Club |Another Fashion Bookby Jefferson HackEdition 7LAnother Magazine, one of the most influential and groundbreaking magazines in the world today, presents the first in a series of collectable books. Another Fashion Book rediscovers the photographic stories commissioned exclusively for its fashion pages over the past 8 years. For the first time, Another Fashion Book brings together in one volume extensive work by the most iconic names in fashion and art photography including Craig McDean, Nick Knight, Mario Sorrenti, Sam Taylor-Wood, Horst Diekgerdes, Stephen Shore, David Sims, Terry Richardson, Willy Vanderperre and Glen Luchford. Often blurring the boundary between art and fashion, the images are a distinct record of photographic innovation during the start of this century. Through a highly-considered commissioning process, Another Magazine and its community of photographers and stylists bridged the gap between the European and American style-divide of the 90s, to evolve a new international fashion language that has in many ways come to define the look of this decade. Creative director David James has recontextualised the archive, allowing an entirely new appreciation of the work, focusing solely on the outstanding fashion photography. All the images selected for publication have been specially reprinted for the book.

The Conscious Closet is not just a style guide. It is a call to action to transform one of the most polluting industries on earth—fashion—into a force for good. Readers will learn where our clothes are made and how they’re made, before connecting to a global and impassioned community of stylish fashion revolutionaries. In The Conscious Closet, Elizabeth shows us how we can start to truly love and understand our clothes again—without sacrificing the environment, our morals, or our style in the process. *Michelle Goldberg, Newsweek/The Daily Beast

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: When it comes to building a personal brand, some people dismiss the process as being too time-consuming, or not that important. To be honest, you will have to devote time and energy to self-branding properly. Consistency and quality are key to getting the best out of your branding exercise. But the idea that building a personal brand is not essential is just false, and here's why: People are Googling you at every stage of your career. Regardless of your age or professional stage, someone is screening you online. What they find can have significant implications for your professional (and personal) well-being. Personal branding gives you the chance to control how clients and prospects see you. It gives you the opportunity to ensure that no one but you manipulate and control the narrative. This book discusses all about personal branding and marketing.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: CAUTION: Reading this book will forever change the way you peruse the racks at Bergdorf's or flip through the pages of Vogue. Taking the reader through six months in a designer's life, Fashion Babylon follows an anonymous A-list British fashion designer looking to break out across the pond. Structured around three of the annual "must" industry events, this irresistible work of reportage goes inside the well-cut seams of the fashion world, where women are paid tens of thousands of dollars for simply getting dressed and where a wrong skirt length can cost you your career. You'll find out how a collection is put together -- from the objects of inspiration to the catwalk, into the shops and, hopefully, onto the cover of a magazine -- and learn who goes to the shows and where they sit...and whose backside they have to kiss to get there. Witty, naughty and jam-packed with celebrity gossip, Fashion Babylon decodes the markups and the comedowns, the fabulous extremes and the shoddy shortcuts behind one of the most lucrative and secretive businesses in the world.
