Description
Sorry folks, not available for Kindle Download. Also, copyright watermarks throughout.
A colorful and striking study of history's most iconic styles, and the women who changed the world while wearing them.
From the revolutionary bikini to the presidential pantsuit, this book by celebrated illustrator Ann Shen explores 50 fashions through bold paintings and insightful anecdotes that empower readers to make their own fashion statements.
Looks include the Flapper Dress, the unofficial outfit of women's independence in the 1920s; the Afro, worn as a symbol of black beauty, power, and pride; the Cone Bra, donned by Madonna in her 1989 power anthem "Express Yourself"; and the Dissent Collar, Ruth Bader Ginsburg's famous signifier for when she disagrees with the majority.
A Note From the Publisher
