This informative book begins with an introduction that
hits the historical highlights of European and American clothing, starting
in medieval times. The chapters that follow focus on the lives, careers,
and legacies of seven significant figures: Charles Frederick Worth,
Levi Strauss, Coco Chanel, Christian Dior, Mary
Quant, Ralph Lauren, and Vera Wang. . . . Kent writes

considerations that influenced individual designers. . . . [A] topic that
is less often discussed in books for young people, though potentially of
great interest
