The 26 Coolest Fashion Books to Gift in 2023
We know it's hard to find the right gifts for your loved ones, so we've compiled a ton of fashion and beauty-focused gift guides tailored to a range of interests and budgets. Check out our latest below and find more right here.
When it comes to fashion books, there are generally two types: the ones that decoratively sit on a table, filled with beautiful images to leaf through, and those that require poring over the words on every page. Each serves its purpose — and can make a great holiday gift, for the aesthetic-forward friend or your favorite bookworm alike.
Fortunately, 2023 was abundant in fashion books. We delighted in releases from Thom Browne, Wes Gordon's Carolina Herrera and Sofia Coppola, as well as sustainability-oriented manifestos and a retrospective on the work of Ruth E. Carter.
