Jean Muir - Beyond Fashion

 by Sinty Stemp

This book will quite rightly already be considered the definitive book on Miss Jean Muir. It has been written and produced with great care by arguably the best person to undertake writing a book on Miss Muir. For a student of fashion to the owner of a Jean Muir designed and made dress and every other person in between, Ms Stemp's book is an absolute must. There are many wonderful parts within the book, of particular interest and an excellent idea has been the inclusion of a number of Jean Muir Sketches reproduced as they were originally done by Miss Muir in her own sketch book.

Congratulations to Sinty Stemp for an excellent book.

My advice: buy the book before it goes out of print!
