Since I was very young, I have been interested in art. I could spend hours reading about the lives of painters, and even as an adult, I have spent countless afternoons studying the various artistic movements that some group of strangers founded in some remote village in France.
There is a lot to be learned from appreciating art, unfortunately I can't set up a bed inside a museum, and people look at me strangely when I try to get too close to a piece of art to appreciate every millimeter trying to absorb as much as possible. Luckily there are books that compile the works of my favorite painters, sculptors and other artists so I can fangirl over them in the comfort of my home. It's not the same, but it's something.
On this shelf you will find art history books and even artbooks of some of my favorite works. There are also portfolios of some artists.

Fashion Design
Fashion has always fascinated me. Every facet of it, from the design of a garment and its subsequent construction, the noble art of weaving and goldsmithing, as well as the study of historical costumes, is wonderful. On this shelf are books that cover every detail of the world of fashion, always with an eye toward romantic and decadent aesthetics. The more lace and velvet, the better.

As a person within an alternative scene, it is always interesting to see the documentaries and texts that are written about the alternative scene, both those that have an insider perspective and those works that are produced by people "from outside". On this shelf you will find books that focus on the gothic, metal, steampunk and lolita scenes, as well as books that took advantage of the boom of the so-called urban tribes, all from the point of view of the people and their customs.
