Review: Fantastic book - Fantastic book; thoughtful extensive educational. The many photos are very Good And the Layout of pages showing the clothes is also really great.
Review: A Gift I Didn't Want to Gift... - A brilliant book, purchased for my friend's daughter, who is easily bored. However this book has really piqued her interest, she's taken it to school and is really keen to learn more. I really struggled to part with the book, and would like a copy for myself.... I studied fashion history as part of a module on design and decorative art at uni, many years back, and this book is academic and factual whilst still engaging younger minds too. There are many illustrations, so it is visually exciting also. Thoroughly worth the money!
