About this title

Review:

"These books, nominally about exploring fashion identities, will fly off library shelves due to the superabundance of celebrity photos. Readers can compare their taste in clothes with those of public figures: Malia and Sasha Obama are preppy, while Kristen Stewart is identified as edgy, and noted three-piece suit enthusiast Ryan Gosling is picked as a hipster poster boy. Editorial, candid, and runway photos illustrate sections that break down the history and elements of each style and offer how-to advice. Accessories, hair and makeup are not overlooked, which brings up the point that despite photos of male fashion exemplars like Jay-Z, Shaun White, and Justin Bieber, these books are aimed at girls and at those who wish to style them. Three simple DIY projects, such as a decorated baseball hat or canvas shoes, are included in each volume. Pictured celebs seem to be chosen in part for their durability--Taylor Swift and Solange Knowles are likely to be well known for a while--giving these books a fighting chance of remaining relevant for a few years or until their bindings wear out." --School Library Journal, Series Made Simple
