Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: ★ Can a group of fashion-challenged dorks and social misfits steal the fashion show from the glamorous but mean fashionistas, proving that personality, smarts, and self-expression win (almost) every time? ★ A FUN NEW RELEASE FOR GIRLS 2021! (Available in paperback and as Kindle Unlimited download.) When the Find-Your-Style fashion design, sewing, and jewelry making workshop is announced, culminating with a FASHION SHOW & EXTRAVAGANZA, I don’t even think about participating. After being officially appointed one of the biggest fashion DISASTERS by the school fashionistas, I don’t believe I would even stand a chance and don’t want to humiliate myself in front of the entire school and town. Besides, being trendy and following the latest fashion is not something that I’m concerned about. In my book, practicality wins every time over appearances, and what’s ACTUALLY INSIDE YOUR HEAD is more important than what color your hair is and whether it’s been blow-dried, curled, and hair-sprayed. I mean, who has the time to waste on coordinating your clothes and accessories with your nails every morning, not to mention the money it costs? Not me! I can think of at least ten better things to do. Or—make it a thousand! (And even if I had loads of money to spare, I’d donate it to a farm sanctuary or animal shelter rather than waste it on products that are superfluous and superficial and just plain silly.) It’s only when I realize that participating in the show may actually give my friends and me a chance to get back at the mean fashionistas that I decide to join the ‘circus’ but do it on my terms. There is only one problem—signing up is easy, but what will we present? With the show’s big date getting closer, there’s little time to figure out our revenge. As we go on that journey, we get close and personal with the contents of our closets and face our dorkiness, self-consciousness, and other demons. We also discover that we are not just smart and caring individuals with an important message to share with the world (and our school mates) but have a distinct personal style as well. *** This book will almost definitely change the way you think about fashion. And you’ll never look at the contents of your closet the same way again!

Book excerpt: Life at Fashionista magazine can be a real bitch. Especially when you work for one. Vig Morgan finally worked her way out of the assistant-for-the-bitch-from-hell trenches only to get stuck in a sea of editors. But Vig isn't like the other associate editors at the aggressively hip and overwhelmingly current Fashionista magazine. For one thing, she couldn't care less which star wore which designer to which party. Sure, she's clever and witty—and just as ambitious as the next overqualified underpaid underling, but she would never get drawn into a plot to depose the evil editor-in-chief. Or would she? Jump with Vig into the choppy waters of scheming, backstabbing, free speech, flirtation and fashion, as the lackeys at the bottom of the masthead band together to take down the queen at the top, with some unexpected—but not necessarily unpleasant—results.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A fashionista is a girl who always looks current and cutting edge, even when her clothes are vintage 1975. A fashionista can tell her Pucci from her Gucci and her Blahniks from her Choos, but she’s as comfortable in Kmart as she is in Chanel. She wears what she likes and always looks fantastic. She’s a clothing chameleon: a sharp tweed suit and ladylike driving gloves one moment, a punk rock T-shirt and studded belt the next. She’s a gypsy, a princess, and a diva. She’s fashion-forward, shopping-addicted, and full of fun. And you can be her, no matter your size, style, or budget. Authors Melissa de la Cruz and Karen Robinovitz are fashionistas who share a love for impractical shoes, small dogs that fit in designer handbags, and wearing white after Labor Day. They eat, sleep, and breathe fashion. And they’ll teach you how to • Make a whole new wardrobe out of the awful duds that lurk in the back of your closet • Use the words “postmodern” and “ironic” to fake your way through pseudo-intellectual cocktail conversation (really–it’s easy, and so postmodern and ironic!) • Score big with chic and cheap finds at thrift stores, consignment shops, and discount designer outlets • Live like a socialite on a shoestring budget In two weeks or less, you’ll be living the lush life, from the brim of your Eugenia Kim fedora to the tip of your pointy Christian Louboutin pumps!

Download or read book Dress Code written by Véronique Hyland and published by HarperCollins. This book was released on 2022-03-15 with total page 288 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the spirit of works by Jia Tolentino and Anne Helen Peterson, a smart and incisive essay collection centered on the fashion industry—its history, its importance, why we wear what we wear, and why it matters—from Elle Magazine’s fashion features director. Why does fashion hold so much power over us? Most of us care about how we dress and how we present ourselves. Style offers clues about everything from class to which in-group we belong to. Bad Feminist for fashion, Dress Code takes aim at the institutions within the fashion industry while reminding us of the importance of dress and what it means for self-presentation. Everything—from societal changes to the progress (or lack thereof) of women’s rights to the hidden motivations behind what we choose to wear to align ourselves with a particular social group—can be tracked through clothing. Veronique Hyland examines thought-provoking questions such as: Why has the “French girl” persisted as our most undying archetype? What does “dressing for yourself” really mean for a woman? How should a female politician dress? Will gender-differentiated fashion go forever out of style? How has social media affected and warped our sense of self-presentation, and how are we styling ourselves expressly for it? Not everyone participates in painting, literature, or film. But there is no “opting out” of fashion. And yet, fashion is still seen as superficial and trivial, and only the finest of couture is considered as art. Hyland argues that fashion is a key that unlocks questions of power, sexuality, and class, taps into history, and sends signals to the world around us. Clothes means something—even if you’re “just” wearing jeans and a T-shirt.
Download or read book Magic of Fashion written by Brian Moeran and published by Left Coast Press. This book was released on 2015-10-31 with total page 262 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Why do women all over the world read fashion magazines like Vogue, Elle, Harper’s Bazaar, and Marie Claire? How do editorial, art, and advertising staff put together the monthly editions of each title in France, Hong Kong, Japan, the UK, and the U.S.? Based on the author’s two decades of ethnographic fieldwork and content analysis, and drawing on anthropological theories, The Magic of Fashion argues that the fashion industry makes commercial use of practices and rituals commonly found in magical and religious rites to enchant its readers. The book -argues that fashion magazines make use of professional magicians—editors, art directors, photographers, business executives—who perform magic-like practices to create the fantasies, glamour, seduction, and transformations characterizing the fashion and beauty industries; -discusses how such beauty products as hair gels and glossy photos, among many others, are used to captivate and mesmerize readers much as incenses, magical elixirs, and spells enchant worshippers; -explains how fashion magazines entice readers with an “alchemy of refined and powerfully addictive contrasts” designed to be irresistible and seductive; -suggests that such forms of manipulation derived from shamanism and animism can be found in all forms of cultural production.
