Fashion Library
The process of collecting the 5,000 volumes that make up our fashion library is closely linked to evolution, travels, trend research and collaborations of the historic Milanese converter, who built it over the years for study and research purposes to support its business. The books that now encompass the library are an integral part of the Renzo Brandone Fund, amplifying its cultural heritage and creative potential.
An Unusual Fashion Library
Our comprehensive fashion library includes thousands of volumes on textile studies, costume history, and ancient and modern visual culture.
Built over more than forty years of activity it is distinguished by its sophisticated selection of rare and out-of-print books, foreign editions, and, in particular, hundreds of Japanese and Oriental volumes, including a rare full Esper collection.
A Visual Atlas of Textile Patterns
A vast repertoire containing fashion, design, architecture, advertising, traditional illustration, children’s illustration, folk art, and, of course, textile design.
Our fashion library contains publications from all around the world, which can be used for study and visual inspiration, as well as a significant scientific source for industry studies and related research.
