List of Top 10 Books for Aspiring Fashion Designers

They say Knowledge is power & wisdom is knowing how to put that power to use. As an avid reader myself, I believe there is no better way to gain that knowledge and to learn how to use it than Books. People also say Books are a Human’s best friend; well, after Dogs of course.

It does not matter whether you are an aspiring Fashion Designer or already an accomplished Fashion Designer, reading is going to help you expand your horizons and in this post I have brought you a list of Top Fashion Designing books that every Fashion Designer must read or should have read.
