DescripciĂłn - CrĂticas 'Readers and report writers will not be disappointed.'--The Bulletin of the Center for Children's Books'A fun, yet thoughtful look inside fashion perils past and present.'--Booklist - STARRED REVIEW'An engrossing choice for stout-hearted readers, whether fashion-forward or not.'--School Library Journal'A fun way to remind youngsters to value their health and safety above their appearances.'--Shelf Awareness - STARRED REVIEW'The macabre subject matter of Killer Style will appeal to almost every youngster...it is both interesting and thought-provoking.'--Canadian Review of Materials'For students interested in fashion and fashion history, this book is a must-read.'--School Library Connection Reseña del editor The clothes we wear every day keep us comfortable, protect us from the elements, and express our unique styleâbut could fashion also be fatal? As it turns out, history is full of fashions that have harmed or even killed people. From silhouette-cinching corsets and combustible combs to lethal hair dyes and flammable flannel, this nonfiction book looks back at the times people have suffered pain, injury, and worse, all in the name of style. Historical examples like the tragic âRadium Girlâ watchmakers and mercury-poisoned âMad Hatters,â along with more recent factory accidents, raise discussion of unsafe workplacesâwhere those who make the clothes are often fashionâs first victims.Co-authored by a scholar in the history of textiles and dress with the founder of WORN Fashion Journal, this book is equal parts fab and frightening: a stylishly illustrated mash-up of STEAM content, historical anecdotes, and chilling stories. Nonfiction features including sidebars, sources, an index, and a list of further reading will support critical literacy skills and digging deeper with research on this topic.
