Book Description
Discover how to rework, reconstruct and embellish well-worn clothes and vintage finds into sustainable, fashion-forward pieces. Whether you trawl markets for pre-loved clothing that's in need of repair, or want to do your bit for the planet by sustainably updating your existing wardrobe, you'll find plenty of inspiration here. Take "make do and mend" one step further by not just mending but repurposing your old clothes to create fashionable, unique items. Janine Chisholm Sullivan, an experienced dressmaker, teaches you how to rework clothes into new styles—from adding embellishments and changing necklines, sleeves, and hems to total transformations, such as creating a brand new dress from two old ones. Make a pretty blouse from a floral dress, or convert a man's shirt into a stylish shirt dress. Take a basic woolen skirt and bring it bang up to date with an asymmetric hem, or add interest to a plain top with an embellished collar made using a linen table doily. With step-by-step artworks and a comprehensive sewing techniques section, three full-size patterns, and advice on sourcing vintage clothes, Fashion Hacks has everything you need to know to create a wardrobe that's all your own.

Another Fashion Book rediscovers the photographic stories commissioned exclusively for its fashion pages over the past 8 years.

Often blurring the boundary between art and fashion, the images are a distinct record of photographic innovation during the start of this century. Through a highly-considered commissioning process, Another Magazine and its community of photographers and stylists bridged the gap between the European and American style-divide of the 90s, to evolve a new international fashion language that has in many ways come to define the look of this decade. Creative director David James has recontextualised the archive, allowing an entirely new appreciation of the work, focusing solely on the outstanding fashion photography. All the images selected for publication have been specially reprinted for the book.
