Hi ! Just wanted to know what you thought of the Kardashians new clothing line Kardashian Kollection . I know you hate celebreties meddling into fashion but this collection is getting a lot of hype! Personally I think it’s tacky but what do you think ?

Yep, hit your library. Books on designers, vintage fashion and haute couture often have details of fabric and blends, techniques, etc.

I used to represent high-end furniture brands (Fritz Hansen, Knoll, etc), and was pretty obsessed with what made their product unique. I think I learned more about make and technique from reading two books in my local library than I learned in four years on the job, studying the product, reading every part of the catalogues, talking to the reps, etc. The people who write those specialist books are often unusually attentive and dedicated.

Aside from the major luxury insight reports, which are pretty different to
what I do, I can’t think of anywhere else to get this type of info. And
that’s a good question about the techniques, I am sure there are some books
that cover it to some extent (ex. there must be some tailoring books that go
into depth about proper luxury tailoring techniques) but I can’t think of
any… Wow, I am not of much help, am I? I’d look up books about Saville Row
techniques, and maybe some individual designer books cover their techniques
(ex. a Louis Vuitton book, there are a few, might have info on how they
construct their bags and trunks.)

Hey, I’ve started reading some of your posts… and they are great! I specially love your “why luxury is expensive section”. Do you know where I can get more of this type of insight? I have been looking for a while now for info on what does quality mean in clothing/shoes/bags, etc.. I reaally want to get to the core of luxury, I’ve done my homework about the psychological part (or non-physical, ie. history, dream factor, etc.) but I’ve found it harder to understand what luxury means physically, (type of fabric/leather quality, hand made, durability, seams ,techniques, layers, etc) can you recommend a book or website where I can learn more about this? I’m a guy by the way.. so I’m specially interested in suits, dress shirts, belts, scarfs, shoes and well.. you get it…

Thank you! And yes, I agree style diary bloggers get a bit boring… There are a few good ones but I am definitley more into content, opinions, and substance (or REALLY amazing photos), which is why I struggle to find a lot of blogs I love.

Your blog has become my obsession, I read it everyday twice a day its a bit scary…what I love about your blog is that there is substance behind it. Its just not you talking about how cool you are or random pics of yourself in your bathroom mirror.(i never understood why people do that)being a fashion business student I appreciate what you have to say and admire that you know what your talking about. Keep it up!!
