If you’ve been reading my blog for a while, you’ll know that I enjoy reviewing the books I’ve read.
Farfetch, a fashion website that sells products from over 300 independent boutiques, got in contact and asked if I’d like to review their new Farfetch Curates Art book.
I typically read fiction and history books, but something intrigued me about the concept of this book: combining modern art with fashion.
When the book arrived, I was impressed with its quality, and the bright pictures are amazing. I wouldn’t say I’ve ever been a ‘fan’ of modern art, but I thoroughly enjoyed looking at these fashion-related photographs.
Not only is this book filled with fabulous pictures, but it also features commentaries from curators and Farfetch boutique owners from all over the world, which are interesting to read.
If you’re a fashion student, or just interested in fashion and/or modern art, I’d definitely recommend this.
As a person who evidently isn’t a fashion or art expert, I did enjoy this book and found it accessible and visually stimulating. I’ll be more appreciative of modern art and its synergy with fashion in the future!
Farfetch Curates Art is one book of a three-part series in collaboration with Assouline. The other books in the series – Food and Design – are also available now, or all three together as part of a gift set. If you’re just interested in the Art book, it costs £16 and is available on their website and on Amazon.
All the best,
Looks like an interesting book. I have a very arty daughter who I think would love something like this.
