I love fashion history,so I checked this book out of the library and I wasn't disappointed;in fact I was pleasantly surprised! This book has facts that are really interesting and obscure and it covers each fashion era very well. Although it's billed for younger readers, Anyone whose interested in clothes should enjoy it..!
This idea of a book has the common idea of filling pages with fasion of the past. The thing I liked most about the book is how detailed the semi-small text was about the history. The only problem was the pictures. Some illistrations were in color, but the photos were in black and white. The pictures gave me part of the picture, but color would have been much better. A great book for fashion followers around middle school and above ages.
If you read nothing but the first line of customer reviews: Criticizing World War II veterans as "diehard older men who flaunted their crewcuts" in the 1960s (when they apparently were supposed to turn into hippies) is lame at best. And what does this anti-American perspective have to do with this book? Plenty.The purpose of this book--which becomes uncomfortable obvious the further along you read--is to provide a politically correct, pro-female, pro-black perspective on political issues of the 1960s (as well as other eras, sort of, but to a lesser extent). It does this while getting several things wrong, and let's face it, if you're going to quote Mae West or the Duchess of Windsor, get the quotes right. Heck, these buffoons don't even pretend to have done their homework when they claim that the leather jacket was created by a Harley-Davidson mechanic. (Leather jackets were worn by prostitutes in Mesopotamia 5000 YEARS AGO.)There are far superior books on fashion out there. Find them.
