Title: Vintage book on creating fashion
Review: This was a rather famous book when it came out in translation from the Swedish. The combination of biographies of designers (some very ordinary people like factory workers) and ideas made this book a best-seller. It's been out of print for a while, but it still is a standard reference.Author Ericson illustrates her book with clear photographs. There is a biography of an elderly and elegant woman who has always worn--white and only white. Even at her husband's funeral. Ideas abound (some with patterns to sew from)--folkwear inspired, Asian-inspired, and funky stuff using office supplies or found objects. I wish I could show you the photos--they are amazing.If you sew, there are schematics here you can enlarge and use for sewing patterns. If you quilt clothing, there are plenty of unusual ideas. A wonderful book, fun to read and ponder.
