IMPACT is the celebration of the 50th anniversary of the Council of
Fashion Designers of America, exploring the influence of the careers of
America's most influential designers over the last five decades.
Anchored by Patricia Mears's illuminating essay on the history of the
CFDA, this book incorporates over 300 personal Impact statements from
the most important names in American fashion, including Marc Jacobs,
Alexander Wang, Ralph Lauren, Proenza Schouler, and Donna Karan.
Illustrated with many never-before-seen images, this is the ultimate
fashion who's who and a celebration of this important fashion
organization. Accompanied by elegant images of these career-changing
moments, this book is the definitive word on the voice of American
fashion.
Praise for IMPACT:
"The book is sweeping in its scope--a chronicle of personal remembrance
and passionate history. For readers, it's a chance to peak into ateliers
and accounting offices, to get a sense of the egos and the insecurities
of the biggest names in the industry." --Newsweek
