the fashion questionnaire



I love the Proust Questionnaire, so was pleasantly surprised when I discovered this book by Michael Specter that gives the legendary Q&A a fashionable twist.

Karl Lagerfeld, Alber Elbaz, John Galliano, Sonia Rykiel, Olivier Theyskens, Valentino and many more influential designers reveal everything from their favourite model, to their fashion motto, favourite photographer and historical muse.

There are also blank questionnaires at the back of the book so you can fill out your own. I'm tempted to give in to my inner nerd and get some of my favourite New Zealand designers to answer...
