I did not enjoy this as much as I thought I would. I found the writing to be clunky, and the text littered with spelling and punctuation errors. One example is on page 15, where in the caption the author uses the word 'collection' instead of 'connection.' The old film "Funny Face" is mentioned quite a lot; maybe I should watch it? The examples for the iconic styles are very dated. Yes, I understand that most of these items (the T-shirt, jeans, etc.) have been around for many decades, but do we have to hear about Bianca Jagger so often?
Check out page 319 and tell me if the model in the photo (Wedge Heeled shoes featured) has 6 toes on the foot facing the camera?! My hubby thought it was an AI mistake but I don't know.
