Review: Nevertheless, She Wore It by Ann Shen
/Nevertheless, She Wore it was an interesting disgustable read about iconic fashion moments. The section of fashion moments are fairly diverse. It focuses on both general fashion history (the bikini, the bloomers, the breast pump, red lips) and more specific moments (the meat dress, the revenge dress, the safety pin dress).
It had a nice, fun tone. I found this book to be entertaining and insightful. There were so many fashion moments that I didn't know the history of. And this book provided a summary of that in a way that didn’t feel overdramatic or boring. Instead, it has the facts and outlines why those moments are significant and the statements behind them. It’s an introduction to the power of fashion. Not a deep dive. It heightened my interest and it made me want to learn more.
The illustrations were a nice touch. And provided a good enough example of what fashion moment was being discussed.
The fashion moments are in alphabetical order as opposed to chronological order. I think that was my only issue with the book.
Final Thoughts
Nevertheless, She Wore It is an entertaining and educational coffee table book.
