Designs of the Seventies
20 April 2005
Format:Hardcover
Tom Tierney has recreated the designer fashions of the seventies in the paper doll book. If you love haute couture, you'll love this book (it doesn't feature the street or pop star fashion of the era).
The dolls resemble two of the most famous models of the decade, Beverly Johnson and Cheryl Tiegs (although this isn't mentioned in the notes), giving the book more authenticity.
The seventies was a decade of retro looks as well as styles inspired by exotic cultures. The styles of the thirties and forties are represented in this book, as are the famous Russian and Chinese designs by Yves-Saint Laurent.
The decade ended with a move toward more imposing almost futuristic styles, and these are well represented by outfits by Mugler and Montana.
My reason for not giving this book 5 stars is that the illustrations are not up to Tom Tierney's usual standard.

Fun with Fashion
18 Oct 2006
Format:Paperback
This is the second Tom Tierney book that I have gotten. I find it fun and informative. It is so awesome to see how different styles develop, and this is a fun and easy way to do it.
