Summary: Good .. but the rest in the Babylon series are better
Comment: Whilst i did enjoy this book it was not as good as the other books Imogen Edward-Jones has written. Still very funny and a good insight into the world with funny stories about celebs. If you enjoy this book then you will love the rest of the series

Summary: Fabulous Darling (air kiss!)
Comment: Having enjoyed the author's other 'Babylon' books, I knew I wouldn't be disappointed by this one and I was correct. It's a series of anecdotes encased in the narrative of an up and coming designer's fashion year and the book doesn't fear the murky depths of 'fashion hell'.
It's worth a read for the sheer quality of writing and the little gems, such as why the fashion world doesn't produce any clothing over a size 14. There's a fair amount of insider gossip too, which is worth savouring. An absolutely fantastic book, recommended to all would be fashionistas!

Summary: brilliant ****
Comment: This is deffinateley one of the best books i have read in a very long time.
It has taken me months to finish books of this size before but i just couldnt put this down, i finished it within 3 days, only then because i had to stop myself reading the whole thing in one go.
Its quite an insight into the industry, admitedly i expected it to have alot of celebrity gossip, but its still definately very interesting an di think if it was full of gossip it wouldnt be as much of a read.

Summary: Good book for those who enjoyed The Devil Wears Prada
Comment: Although I may agree that this book contains a rather predictable elliment to the writing style and choice of characters, I couldn't help but be gripped by an unexplainable force to read on. No pacey plot line should be expected but for a light, quick read I would most certainly suggest it to those with a light sense of humor and interested in the basics of the fashion world. I would no doubt suggest it to those who have read 'The Devil Wears Prada' as this book carries similar writing style and overall concept and view of the fashion industry.

Summary: Great Insights!
Comment: Fashion Babylon does well at aiming to show the behind-the-scenes of the fashion world, which is done in a story form. It revolves around the fast-paced lives of an independent fashion designer and her business partner, who races for their collections for 2 seasons... and also their dreams & hopes of becoming big someday.
Along the way they in 6 months of their lives, they encounter the many different players in the industry - fellow independent designers, the big labels, models, celebrities and up to show & shoot crews. All these encounters gives insights on how the industry work - the good and the bad. And the very challenges the designers & models face to succeed. The insights on the different shows in London, New York and Milan is an added bonus, showing the differences of industry in the 3 fashion cities.
This light & easy-to-read book amakes an interesting read for those who want to know more of the fashion industry - for career/ business or just the fashion enthusiasts who want to know how the industry works.
