Stylists: The Interpreters of Fashion is by far the most gorgeous fashion book I have read in a long time. This oversized coffee table book introduces you to perhaps the most influential individuals in the fashion industry, the stylists.

It may be surprising to some, but stylists do much more than put together pretty outfits. Stylists often cast the models, hire hair-and-makeup professionals, assist the designers, and help build photo shoots.

This book is beautifully illustrated with loads of glossy photographs displaying the stylists' best work. My favorite bio and photo spread was about stylist Andrea Lieberman who has styled Gwen Stefani, Jennifer Lopez (she put her in her famous plunging Grammy gown), and many more of music's finest.

Stylists: The Interpreters of Fashion retails at $75.00 and is worth every penny but if you head to Amazon.com you can score it for much cheaper. Happy reading.
