McDowell surveys and records uniquely the fascinating variety of the world of fashion in our supremely fashion-conscious century. It is packed with information on the leading figures in fashion. Over 350 of the major international designers, illustrators, photographers and fashion editors - including all the leading designers from France, Italy, Japan, Spain, Great Britain and the USA - are described in informative, often witty, and sometimes critical biographical sketches, which make up The Directory itself and a special extra section on The Image Makers . The biographies - from Poiret to Body Map, Chanel to Alaia - are illustrated with over 450 photographs in colour and black-and-white of clothes which exemplify the designers' special looks, and with portrait photographs of many of the designers and image makers themselves. Colin McDowell's own fashion drawings also illustrate the book, giving it his own personal stamp.
