The Rise of Fashion and Lessons Learned at Bergdorf Goodman (Fairchild Books, $32.50) by Ira Neimark.

Ira Neimark was the CEO of Bergdorf Goodman for 17 years and has spent nearly five decades in the fashion industry so expect a true insider look at what went on behind the scenes at Bergdorf’s during his reign (1975 to 1992). The book is packed with photos and tales of parties and glamorous encounters with folks like Jackie O., Yves Saint Laurent and Princess Diana. It’s not out until October 18 but it’s already been blurbed by Calvin Klein and Michael Kors which bodes well.
