Recommend several books on fashion design and suggestions on cultivating fashion design.

It is estimated that most people will recommend books on fashion design skills. However, I recommend the following books. This is a must-read book for a good fashion designer. It is also the place where excellent designers are different from mediocre designers.

1. The Battle of Versailles was written by Robin Givahn, winner of the Pulitzer Prize in 26, author of Fashion and Politics and Washington Post fashion editor. The book tells the story of a "competition" between the United States and France in 1973 in the name of "charity fundraising" in order to break the fashion system centered on Paris at that time. The United States sent five designers, Oscar de la Renta, Bill Blass, Anne Klein, Halston and Stephen Burrows, to confront the five French designers who were the most prosperous at that time: Yves Saint Laurent, Hubert de Givenchy, Pierre Cardin, Emanuel Ungaro and Marc Bohan of Christian Dior. Witnessed by hundreds of celebrities from politics, fashion and society, American designers have achieved great success with their concise and pragmatic designs. World-class fashion media, businessmen finally turned their visual focus to American fashion. We say "finally" because the United States tried to break the world system centered on French fashion from the beginning of the 2th century and finally succeeded during World War II. American designers began to make their mark because France was in full swing by the war at this time. However, it was not until the Battle of Versailles in 1973 that American fashion was truly recognized by the world! Therefore, China designers don't have to worry. One day, you will become the protagonists of the world.

2. Power Dressing, written by Robb Young, global editor of BoF, introduces and analyzes the dressing experience of dozens of most influential female politicians in the world. Including Mrs. Obama, Hillary, Jacqueline? Kennedy, etc. Designers in China should read this book to learn how to design clothes for politicians.
