      Not to be outdone by Bless, another idyosincractic, German-speaking house, Fabrics Interseason, produced a book of their own.[/quote]
      Offtopic sorry, but... are all the things in the lookbook/collections/productions area designed by the same people? If not.. How do you tell who designed them?

      Sorry again. + Thanks

        I'm sure that the designers oversee them, maybe not always, but for something so small like Bless and FI it's probablly the case.

                I tried to order that same book about 2 weeks ago from RAM and when i checked out it sayed they would call to verify my method of payment and they would send it out...only they never called. I then emailed them and they never emailed back. With that being said does anyone know where to find this Bless book, shipping now, where i can use my credit card and no hassle, and no Paypal?




                thanks.

                    Well RAM finally called me and I got my book in the mail this morning....just wanted to say that the




                    BLESS book was much more than I expected, its a very nice size, the printing is nice, and it's worth the money....




                    It looks kinda like a cheap book on the web but its actually a nice presentation.

                      This looks interesting. Berg publishers have lots of good books.

                          Yeah, the book is very well-made and well-designed.

                          I am thoroughly angry at myself for putting a crack into the
                          spine of the book; I left it open on one page on my bed for
                          a little too long... [:(]

                            This looks really, really good, and the reviewers are all to be trusted, especially Hollier. Probably pretty dense. Interesting how all the best writing on fashion is being produced in German. Thanks so much for the link, Faust.

                              You are welcome, laika. It does look good. I hope it helps with my thesis.

                                I'm sure it will.



                                There is also this, which is rather imposing, but good for reference and overview. I recommend checking it out of the library to see if it suits you.
