4 Coffee Table Books Every Fashion-Obsessed Girl Should Get

This article is written by a student writer from the Her Campus at Vanderbilt chapter.

1. The Teen Vogue Handbook: Second Edition ($16.99)

The Teen Vogue Handbook was originally released in 2009, but the editors of TV decided that it was time to release another guide to getting into the fashion industry. This time around, The Teen Vogue Handbook was updated to contain 90% new content with some of the biggest names in modern fashion. The first edition featured interviews with Karl Lagerfeld, Anna Wintour, Patrick Demarchelier, Marc Jacobs, and Pat McGrath just to name a few so there’s no telling how fantabulous the industry insiders in the second edition will be. 

2. Refinery 29: Style Stalking ($11.99)

Refinery 29 came out with a book filled with street style photos from around the world. However, Style Stalking is not just a photo book of pictures chosen by the Refinery 29 team. The book is semi-categorized based on style, fabric, and trends. Outfit breakdowns and short interviews are scattered throughout and well known fashionista’s give their two cents many-a-times so what are you waiting for?? Hop on over to Amazon and buy yourself a copy.

3. Fashionable Selby by Todd Selby ($24.49)

Coffee table books are my literary love and Fashionable Selby is my newest obsession. Todd Selby has already written about eclectic home decor and food in The Selby Is In Your Place and Edible Selby. Now his newest edition is about the backdoor fashion lovers who have flown under the radar while making fabulous contributions to fashion as an art form. Oh, and did I mention the ah-may-zing photography??

4The Andy Warhol Diaries by Andy Warhol $21.99

The not-so-secret stories of the iconic Andy Warhol as told by the great man himself. for any of you keen on scandal and raunchy rumors being revealed as true, this book is for you. The life of Andy Warhol has never been portrayed so openly like it is in his published “diary.” This is a great choice
