Description
A book of fashion history for children which explores connections between clothing and culture. Packed with extraordinary facts and eye-catching illustrations, it reveals through a fun guessing game why Elizabethan men stuffed their stockings, why only certain people were allowed to wear red in the Ottoman Empire, and how Marie Antoinette once wore a wig with a toy ship in it. Periods covered include the Ancient Greeks, Iron Age Denmark, Tang Dynasty China, Elizabethan England, the French Revolution, Edo Era Japan, 1920s USA, 1950s Ghana – and a look at fashion’s future.
