Now, in its third year as a sophisticated hardbound publication, the 2009 edition of the Who's Who Fashion Yearbook documents the year's hottest faces, fashion, facts and stories. Boasting a new format this year, it presents them all in chronological - and highly entertaining - monthly timelines and chapters. Aside from showing the faces behind some of the industry's biggest and most newsworthy brands and labels, the book, which is sure to be a keepsake, highlights the year's major executive promotions and appointments, product launches, birthdays and anniversaries, parties and celebrations, deaths, financial reports, trade shows, store openings and every other happening or event that made "fashion history" in 2009. Aside from spotlighting the key people and occurrences of the year, the Who's Who also features numerous "best of" rankings that cover everything from the Top Fashion Bloggers and the Biggest Buyers of Organic Cotton to the Best New Designers to Show at New York Fashion Week. Another special section looks ahead to 2010. Here, influential CEOs and brand leaders share their personal wishes for the fashion industry next year. This look back at the year is supplemented by the official announcement of 2009's Sportswear International Fashion Award (SIFA) winners. An international jury selects the recipients of this yearly prize in the categories Best Fashion, Best Denim, Best Sport/Street, Best Sneakers, Best Footwear and Best Newcomer. In addition Sportswear International's editorial team has bestowed three Editor's Choice Awards for Best Retail and Best E-Commerce as well as a Special Award for Sustainability. All winners are presented in a stunning photo shoot featuring the winner's collections and personal portraits. Bursting with photos, faces and information, this yearbook is a must-have for anyone who works in - or just lives and breathes - fashion.
