Gift Guide for the Bookworm: Fifty Dresses and Fifty Shoes that Changed the World
If you’ve wanted to know the 21st century bespoke innovations that changed the world and your lives, look no further! This is the book with explanations on landscape-changing dresses from the Metal disc dress, the (gasp!) Topless dress, and the unforgettable DVF Wrap Dress that spoke loudly of gender equality when Von Furstenberg first unveiled it in 1973. We love 50 Dresses That Changed the World!
The sister counterpart to this book is 50 Shoes that Changed the World: from the flip-flop to the Ugg boot; from the Feather-trimmed shoe to the Mock-Croc platform, these are shoes that any budding designer or fashionista would not only like to know about, but would like to have in her wardrobe.
Each of these costs $20 at Amazon.com and are published by the Design Museum. Perfect for that designer or bookworm!
