Book Description
A celebration of clothing in bright, beautiful photographs of exuberant and diverse children from around the world, WHAT WE WEAR: DRESSING UP AROUND THE WORLD inspires young readers to explore the way clothing makes them feel and how it tells the world who they are. What we wear can identify who we are: what team we play for or what team we root for, where we go to school, how we worship, or how we represent our heritage. What we wear expresses our individuality, and clothes can make us happy, confident, and proud. Whether it’s a piper in a tartan plaid, a cowpoke in a cowboy hat, or a novice in ceremonial face paint, children everywhere wear different clothes and accessories for different reasons. But, one thing they all have in common is that they are all unique and beautiful. Backmatter encourages young readers to explore the way people dress in other countries and other cultures at folk festivals, at museums, and at home by asking about their own family heritage.

That may also be the secret behind her genius and enduring influence—she refused to take fashion too seriously.” —Cathy Horyn, New York Magazine “The first designer to create a cohesive vision rooted in the American lifestyle of ease, McCardell and her contributions as a designer and a woman in business are often overlooked. Tory Burch’s new foreword . . .puts this American treasure in her rightful place.” —Constance White, fashion editor and author of How to Slay: Inspiration from the Queens and Kings of Black Style “Claire McCardell’s guiding philosophy of dressing with ease in afunctional, fashionable American look was groundbreaking—and feminist—for her times.

Book Description
This volume of the Sports She Wrote series offers a comprehensive exploration of 19th-century women's athletic fashion, featuring 124 articles written by 80 women (125,000 words) between the Civil War and 1900, published in dozens of periodicals. Illustrated with 130 images, this collection showcases the intersection of fashion and sport, from the scandalous practicalities of swimwear to the refined elegance of ice-skating ensembles. Spanning a wide range of physical activities, including golf, tennis, horseback riding, hunting, cycling, swimming, skating, mountaineering, physical fitness and more, these articles delve into the evolution of sportswear as a pivotal aspect of the dress reform movement of the 1800s. Amidst the social constraints of Victorian-era fashion, athletic women rebelled, ushering in innovations such as shorter skirts, practical footwear, and adaptable attire for the New Woman’s healthful physical activities. Controversy surrounded garments like bloomers and knickerbockers, challenging societal norms and inspiring debates over femininity and functionality. Corsets were shunned and tennis shoes became fashionable. Offering insights into the social impact of women's athletic attire and its enduring influence on contemporary fashion, this volume serves as a fascinating time-capsule of the evolution of style and women's self-expression in the 19th century. Sports She Wrote is a 31-volume time-capsule of primary documents written by more than 500 women in the 19th century.
