I'm only on chapter three but this book is the 💣. All about famous bad ass women who used fashion to secure themselves as an iconic symbol or used it to influence others around them to their advantage. Has thus far mentioned Cleopatra, Chinese Empress Dowager Cixi, Elizabeth I, Angela Davis, Marie Antoinette, Rose Bertin, Wallis Simpson, and Coco Chanel. #idresslikeadumpsterfire #butthisisstillwayrad #nonfictionnovember
ValerieAndBooks Adding to stack! I've always been fascinated by fashion history even though my personal style is very bland (I'd rather spend any money on books than clothes). 7y
charl08 Great cover. Is the art the same style inside? 7y
queerbookreader @charl08 It is! There are some originally existing photos and portraits in the book too but there's also a lot of funky art like the cover in it too 7y
charl08 Sounds great. 7y
