Killer Style: How Fashion Has Injured, Maimed, and Murdered Through History
by Serah-Marie McMahon, Alison Matthews David, Gillian Wilson
It is rare that I read a non-fiction book, even a kids book, without skimming over parts. This is that rare title. This book looks at what people have done through history to be “beautiful”. It includes the usuals like corsets, and heels. But then it also includes tidbits about real people who died, stories some of these styles would be found in, or were created around. It includes both real pictures and illustrations. The layout is lovely, and the book has a nice flow. I think other fashionista and wannabes are going to love it. I also really appreciate the cover, because unlike most fashion books, it does not have a “girly” vibe. It has a death vibe that will reach and and grab all kids. Plus the fatal fashion inside covers all ranges of gender. Loved this read.
