It explores women of all ages, races, and shapes throughout history and how their fashion choices helped to shape history and culture. This was a very educational book, but it was still incredibly entertaining. The topics did tend to jump around a bit which at times made the reading not as fluid and tiny bit confusing, but it still didn't take away from it being a very fun read! I also loved the illustrations in this book! no reviews | add a review

Well informative
Interesting color schemes
Cons:
Disorganized. Like weird interceptions of other artists icons that kind of threw me off after the first chapter.
I think some icons should have gotten actual chapters, like Prada versus Frida as I said in my status update.
Thoughts:
I know some people complained about cultural appropriation, but Cleopatra's race is heavily debated and unknown so I don't think it matters if a white or black person plays her. I also don't think the Madonna thing was a big deal, I've noticed most people who are upset about hair styles anyway are white people who do not even know the cultural that they are supposedly defending.
I do wish that she had wrote about different race icons. We got some cool people who weren't white but they were subjected to the shorter pages or just 1 chapter dedicated. ( )
