This selected reading list includes resources on fashion, interior, and decorative design; architecture; and critical art theory. Having been interested in design and lifestyle concepts for many years, I have tended to read articles in commercial magazines. However, I also wanted to learn more about these fields from an academic perspective. I, therefore, chose resources that took a more critical stance of these fields. I chose these resources for their:

• Insight into a creative medium's history
• Insight into urban history
• Insight into a creative medium's impact on society
• Insight into the life of an artist, writer, or philosopher

To facilitate access, I have categorised the resources according to the following subject areas:

• Architecture
• Art/The Visual Arts
• Biography
• The Decorative Arts
• Community Activism
• Fashion design and/or history
• Film Studies
• Interior design and/or history
• Photography
