Vintage Style: 25 Iconic Fashion Looks and How to Get Them by Sarah Kennedy

1980s Fashion Print by Marnie Fogg
We’ve featured her 1950s print book (and mentioned its 60s counterpart), so I thought we should also cover Marnie Fogg’s 1980s Fashion Print book for those whose favourite decade is the era of New Romantics, shoulder pads and excess.

Celia Birtwell book by Celia Birtwell and Dominic Lutyens
Interestingly, no one has written a book on Celia Birtwell, so it's about time one turned up. Which happens to be this Celia Birtwell book by Celia Birtwell and Dominic Lutyens.
Part life story, part feature on her work, Celia Birtwell features personal photographs and sketches of Celia, her family and friends, especially from her 'bohemian' life in the 1960s and 70s and images from her long association with David Hockney as both friend and muse. Of course, the flipside is Birtwell the designer, with the book also offering up a multitude of examples of her fashion and home fabrics.
Quadrille publishes the 208-page book in hardback from 3rd October 2011, with Amazon doing discounted pre-orders for £20.99. Also, look out for Celia Birtwell: In Conversation at the V&A, which takes place on Friday 23rd September. Who knows…you might get a signed copy on the night.
