Fashion Babylon by Imogen Edwards-Jones & Anonymous336 pages
Completed 6/13/10
The third book I've read in the true-account Babylon series by composed by Edwards-Jones, this book didn't disappoint. More entertaining than "Air Babylon," but still not quite up to "Hotel Babylon," I still thoroughly enjoyed it. Featuring a fairly new English fashion designer, her flamboyant partner, her gorgeous muse, and a stylist as wacky as they come, this book features names and designers in the fashion world that would make any Vogue reader swoon.
I know this book is a composite of many fashion industry stories the author gathered, but nevertheless, I tried to figure out who this designer was. In fact, I may have enjoyed it more if at the end, her identity was revealed. Speaking of the end, it was disappointing. Unless a sequel is planned (which it is not), the conclusion was too open-ended.
If you've read either Air or Hotel Babylon, I highly recommend this book. Edwards-Jones sticks to her same tried and true writing formula, which makes for an easy, but entertaining read.
