The 50 key modes, garments, and designers, each explained in half a minute!
Even if you're not a regular follower of Suzy Bubble, Le Happy, or The Sartorialist, you probably have some feeling for fashion. Most people have a vague idea of what's in, what's out, and what they might consider putting on their own backs. Less familiar to most, however, is the way fashion works as a global business - a multi-billion-pound industry, employing over 27 million people - just who decides what's cutting edge and what's long past its sell-by date. 30-Second Fashion offers an engrossing crash course to how the style world works today, alongside an engaging look at the founding fathers (and mothers) of fashion who set it up that way.
30 - Second Fashion looks beyond the surface of this billion-dollar industry. Each entry is summarised in just 30 seconds - using nothing more than two pages, 300 words and one picture. Leading fashion experts provide an engrossing crash course in how the style world works today, alongside an engaging look at the founders of fashion who set it up that way. Every aspect of the modern fashion industry is explored, from haute couture to high street, from catwalk to street style and from glossy magazine to online blog. Some of the recurring themes behind fashion design are explored, such as the influence of art, music, sport. 30-second fashion includes everything you need to get style savvy.
Includes bibliographical references and index.
