I love Grace Coddington. Her passion, her determination & her belief.
I loved this book. Everything I was hoping it would be.

If you love fashion & you're a Vogue devotee you'll love this. I enjoyed every moment of the inside look at Kirstie's life behind the editors chair at Vogue & I'm glad she wrote a book to tell us about it all. Fantastic.

anyone who knows me knows that mcqueen is my all time favourite fashion designer. he the designer as well as his impeccable tailoring and gorgeous designs is what made me fall deeply in love with high fashion.

i enjoyed this book. it had a lot of information on each of his collections, although i would have liked to have more. it's understandable that each show had about 60 pieces so it's impossible to go through and describe each piece from each collection in detail but ultimately that's what i'd love someone to do. however it gave an incredibly good overview of each of his collections; what inspired it, how it came together etc.

i also loved that it gave a small background into his life pre-designer and mcqueen's business - working with LVHM and Gucci Group etc. i'd love for there to be a detailed biography one day that goes into his business relations more as well as his beginnings in the fashion industry pre beginning his own label.

i wouldn't read this if you weren't heavily into mcqueen as a designer. three quarters of this book looks at his collections and if you aren't interested in the detail of that then you'll find it hard to enjoy.

it was good. if you didn't know much about fashion it would prove useful as it provided lots of tips and ideas, especially if you live in London...
the set out of the book was good; broken up into different sections as to not confuse readers and each section had a double page for notes which is a nifty idea if you're reading this book to change your style or are quite clueless when it comes to styling yourself and where to start.
but really, i kinda only read this for Victoria Beckham. i love her fashion line. some of her pieces are gorgeous and absolute classic pieces that will take you season after season.
good book for a posh spice...

so conceited and eye-roll inducing. but not bad...

i love Gok and i loved his autobiography. it was interesting to discover more about his life and who he is and why he is the way he is. opened my eyes and definitely gave me some advice in regards to my future and career aspirations.

Dagmar... what a bitch!

that is all i have to say...

Quick and easy read. At the beginning and throughout I thought that Charlie's continuous emotional bouts of crying were way too emotional for a sixteen year old boy... I mean how many sixteen year old boys show that much emotion let alone cry that often??? But by the end of the book it was a little more understandable. Overall I thoroughly enjoyed the book and liked that it wasn't hard to read at all..

i enjoyed it. seeing as i finished it in a day i guess i did.

the style in which the book was written was different, i don't know whether i overly enjoyed that but it was good.

very similar to the film.

oh my guilty pleasure. my love for trash. it's all here in one book.
breezed through it. like i have with the others. it was good.
i felt it to be a little slow in the beginning, but after i hit the halfway mark it really started to take off. it was good to have a different storyline for Madison.
enjoyed it. cannot wait for the next one!
