Synopsis

In an accessible A to Z format, this reference for the style-conscious young woman provides quick and easy access to everything a fashionist needs to know about clothes. With over 200 entries, it is a veritable encyclopaedia of fashion with information on the proper name of each item, its designer, the name of the celebrities who made it famous, and advice on what to wear with it. The book covers a wide array of wardrobe items - including tops, skirts, dresses, pants, shorts, undergarments, shoes, and accessories - making this the first source to check for answers to all fashion questions.

A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

Each year, we spend hours upon hours shopping and getting dressed, but do we ever actually think about what we’re wearing? For example, what’s the name of the style of your shirt? Who invented your favorite jeans cut? Or who made your baby-doll nightie famous? There is a story behind every piece of clothing and, with Fashion 101, you’ll learn what those stories are and more: Where did the miniskirt come from? Why has the military had a stronger influence on fashion than either Audrey Hepburn or Gwen Stefani? How do denim makers work those perfect "whiskers" into your "worn-out" jeans?

Filled with tons of intriguing factoids about designers and celebrities, and more than 300 illustrations, Fashion 101 offers the total scoop on underwear, outerwear, accessories, and everything in between. With this crash course, you’ll learn not only how to put together smarter looks, but also how to become a fashion expert in the process.
