Each winter, Fashionista curates a reading list that reflects the ideas, movements, and makers shaping culture. Their 2025 selection is as rich and wide-ranging as ever—spanning memoir, fashion history, design, photography, and the iconography of contemporary style. We’re honoured that The Creative Entrepreneur appears among them.
This year’s list includes titles from some of the most influential voices in fashion and culture:
Erdem by Erdem Moralioglu and Anna Wintour
Make it Ours: Crashing the Gates of Culture with Virgil Abloh by Robin Givhan
Rick Owens: Temple of Love by Rick Owens and Miren Arzalluz
It Girl: The Life And Legacy of Jane Birkin by Marisa Meltzer
They All Came to Barneys: A Personal History of the World’s Greatest Store by Gene Pressman
André Leon Talley: Style is Forever by Antoine Gregory, Paula Wallace, Rafael Gomes
Little Book of Miu Miu: The story of the iconic fashion house by Kristen Bateman
Superfine: Tailoring Black Style by Monica L. Miller
The Misadventures of KidSuper by Colm Dillane
…and many more, each reflecting major cultural moments in the fashion industry that left a lasting imprint through narrative, craft, legacy, and the industry’s changemakers.
Books occupy a particular place in winter gifting. They invite reflection rather than urgency, they offer context, depth, and time away from the noise of the year. The Creative Entrepreneur sits within this landscape as a collection of long-form conversations with the individuals shaping today’s creative world—told with clarity, honesty, and a commitment to understanding how culture is made. Its inclusion on Fashionista’s list is a reminder of how strongly these stories resonate across disciplines.
For anyone building their winter reading list—or looking for something meaningful to give—the full Fashionista selection is worth exploring in its entirety. And should The Creative Entrepreneur find its place on your shelf or become a gift for someone creative in your life, we hope it offers the same inspiration it has brought to so many readers already.
