Your Bookmark Here: Bad Girls of Fashion: Style Rebels from Cleopatra to Lady Gaga

“You live but once; you might as well be amusing.” – Coco Chanel
I must admit, I don’t read a lot of non-fiction books for fun but when I saw this book I was instantly drawn in. This book looks at different women from the past and present. It discusses the contributions of women in the fashion world and beyond that. I really enjoyed reading about each person’s bio. The book was also filled with cool photographs and illustrations. Each person in the book had challenged the status quo and social norms of their times. From scantily clad queens who rolled out of carpets to female artists who rode donkeys into school hallways and lit firecrackers during lectures. Some of the style rebels included women who wore banana skirts, swan dresses or sported stuffed animal sweaters! It also featured women who pioneered some of the styles commonly seen today such as pants, wearable clothing and tailored suits.
The clothing part of the book was probably the “accessory” and main focus of the book was about the lives of the women that wore them. Overall, a great read about some of the about some of history’s most interesting style rebels and a great source for clothing and costume inspiration.
