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!

Download or read book The Fashionista Files written by Karen Robinovitz and published by Ballantine Books. This book was released on 2007-12-18 with total page 354 pages. 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!

Propelled by a painful end to a relationship and determined to prove her ex wrong for breaking up with her, our Fashionista lands a place on the Harrods Graduate Scheme. A complete outsider to the fashion world, she sets out on a wing and a pair of Guccis, and finds herself in a whirlwind of couture and craziness.

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.

Download or read book Unraveled written by Maxine Bedat and published by Penguin. This book was released on 2021-06-01 with total page 337 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Longlisted for the FT/McKinsey Business Book of the Year Award A groundbreaking chronicle of the birth--and death--of a pair of jeans, that exposes the fractures in our global supply chains, and our relationships to each other, ourselves, and the planet Take a look at your favorite pair of jeans. Maybe you bought them on Amazon or the Gap; maybe the tag says "Made in Bangladesh" or "Made in Sri Lanka." But do you know where they really came from, how many thousands of miles they crossed, or the number of hands who picked, spun, wove, dyed, packaged, shipped, and sold them to get to you? The fashion industry operates with radical opacity, and it's only getting worse to disguise countless environmental and labor abuses. It epitomizes the ravages inherent in the global economy, and all in the name of ensuring that we keep buying more while thinking less about its real cost. In Unraveled, entrepreneur, researcher, and advocate Maxine Bédat follows the life of an American icon--a pair of jeans--to reveal what really happens to give us our clothes. We visit a Texas cotton farm figuring out how to thrive without relying on fertilizers that poison the earth. Inside dyeing and weaving factories in China, where chemicals that are banned in the West slosh on factory floors and drain into waterways used to irrigate local family farms. Sewing floors in Bangladesh and Sri Lanka are crammed with women working for illegally low wages to produce garments as efficiently as machines. Back in America, our jeans get stowed, picked, and shipped out by Amazon warehouse workers pressed to be as quick as the robots primed to replace them. Finally, those jeans we had to have get sent to landfills--or, if they've been "donated," shipped back around the world to Africa, where they're sold for pennies in secondhand markets or buried and burned in mountains of garbage. A sprawling, deeply researched, and provocative tour-de-force, Unraveled is not just the story of a pair of pants, but also the story of our global economy and our role in it. Told with piercing insight and unprecedented reporting, Unraveled challenges us to use our relationship with our jeans--and all that we wear--to reclaim our central role as citizens to refashion a society in which all people can thrive and preserve the planet for generations to come.
