(4) YA Fashions of a Decade series. This series gives an overview of fashion and trends, also providing some social and historical context. The text is dense in design and content, assuming the reader possesses a high level of knowledge, and it's fairly disorganized. But budding fashionistas will pore over the prodigious well-captioned photos and illustrations, which effectively differentiate among designers' styles throughout the decades. Reading list, timeline. Glos., ind. Review covers these Fashions of a Decade titles: The 1950s, The 1940s, The 1980s, The 1960s, The 1930s, The 1970s, The 1920s, and The 1990s.
