California Fashion: From the Old West to New Hollywood

Rating:
Summary: History and More!
Review: Who Knew?!
California really IS where distinctive American Fashion style got its start!
Too far away from New York, and light years from Paris, what we wear today got its start in California.
The authors have made what is really a history book fun reading, and hey, you can actually learn something too.

The chapters are:
1--Intro, 2--Denim(Levis), 3--Swimwear, 4--Sportswear,
5--Hollywood, 6--Male Designers of fame, 7--San Francisco style, 8--Surfing, 9--New Hollywood, Biographies (lists the big hitters), Bibliography

After reading this great little book, you can nod knowingly when Paris fashion couture carts a surfboard down the runway!
