Berg is a publishing house which often publishes on beauty and fashion! The Berg journals are also a great series, covering amazing subjects from fashion and art to eating habits and the cultural presence of food.
As for Valerie Steele, she is one of the best fashion historians in the world, and I have many of her books! She is a prolific writer and Director of The Museum at the Fashion Institute of Technology in New York City. Anything by Valerie Steele is OK with me.
The Berg Companion to Fashion is an one-volume fashion encyclopedia with entries on just about everything, from theories of fashion to specific fashion houses and brands (Prada, Dior, Ungaro, Levis), types of clothes (e.g. swimwear, sports wear, boots, the bikini, the ball dress), history of fashion entries, entries about individual shops, individual designers and items of clothing (the bridle, the corset).
I highly recommend this book to fashion writers, fashion scholars and also anyone who is interested to learn about the amazing and magical world of fashion!
