Style and fashion are visual, no denying that. But beyond every impressive style and unforgettable image there are stories and knowledge. In the age of visual overload, it is so tempting to just stare at pictures and look without thinking. We are lured by the idea that whatever image we see, can be copied and make us fabulous, beautiful, stylish, noticed by others, loved, perhaps… So, why bother reading books? I believe that books are precious – they slow us down; they make us concentrate on something longer than a blog entry. But what’s more important when it comes to our personal style and fashion, the books have a power of changing the way we perceive ourselves and the world around us – they change the perception angle and we start looking for different imagery and with a different purpose.
My bookshelf is a part of STYLELABS where I share books that, in my humble opinion, may have a powerful impact on our sense of style. Thus, some of the books will be not about fashion or style at all.
