Synopsis

We spend hours shopping and dressing, but do we think about what we're wearing? What's the style of your shirt called? Who made your baby-doll nightie famous?

There is a story behind every piece of clothing and with Fashion 101 you'll learn: Where did the miniskirt come from? Why has the military had a stronger influence on fashion than Audrey Hepburn?

Filled with intriguing factoids about designers and celebrities and more than three hundred illustrations, Fashion 101 offers the scoop on underwear, outerwear, accessories, and everything in between. With Fashion 101, you'll learn how to put together smarter looks and become a fashion expert in the process.

From School Library Journal:

Adult/High School—Recognizing fashion styles and trends is one thing; putting them together in new and interesting ways is an altogether different animal. This handy guide helps with both the recognition of fashion dos and don'ts as well as with the development of new—and true—personal styles. It is part history, part fashion adviser, part shopping manual, and all fun. Each item of female clothing, from dresses to accessories to pants to underwear, is covered, with great black-and-white and color illustrations. Sections for each garment include what it looks like, the designer who first introduced it, celebrities who made it hot, and how it can be worn today. Who would have thought that parachute pants could be made rockin'? This would make a good addition to browsing collections, especially in larger libraries and those that have an abundance of fashion-forward or aspiring-designer teens.—Charli Osborne, Oxford Public Library, MI
