Product Description
An interactive colouring book for fashionistas of all ages, My Wonderful World of Fashion is packed with beautiful and sophisticated illustrations specially created by the leading fashion-illustrator Nina Chakrabarti. The book encourages creativity, with illustrations to colour in and designs to finish off, as well as simple ideas for making and doing (how to make a sari, turn a napkin into a headscarf, dye a t-shirt, etc.). Covering clothing, shoes, bags, jewellery and other accessories, the illustrations span both vintage fashions, drawing on beautiful and interesting objects from past ages, and contemporary designs from the illustrator's own imagination. 'Did you know...?' features giving brief historical notes encourage children to be inspired by history and by the fashions of other cultures. A wonderful celebration of fashion, the book will appeal to addicts from 8 years plus.

This review is from: My Wonderful World of Fashion: A Book for Drawing, Creating and Dreaming (Paperback)
This book is a delight in every way, even the binding and printing are a paid careful attention, with lovely thick pages and a thick card cover, making it feel more like a limited edition art book than a colouring book.It is pretty without being too girly and twee, and has just the right amount of pink (and I mean shocking pink) to make everyone happy. The content includes introductions to contemporary fashion icon like Schiaparelli and Jimmy Choo that you can embelish in your own style as well as creating your own unique masterpieces. Perfect young wardrobe raiders who love a clippy cloppy shoe. As much as I love the diet of nostalgic 50's colouring books we are becoming accustomed to, this has been a welcome departure. It has already been received with excitement by my 5 and 6 year old girls. A fabulous book. I have already bought 3 and will be giving more away over the Christmas season. The ideal semi permanent present that provides hours of portable entertainment and takes up next to no space. I couldn't like it more.

I first heard about this book via a fashion blog and bought it to see what all the fuss was about.The illustrations are nothing short of stunning and this book appeals to all ages by including fashion classics, multi-cultural designs and charming ideas for projects. Nina Chakrabarti has really hit the mark with this book. It is a great gift for anyone interested in fashion and design - I've ended up buying another copy as one of my friends was so taken with it that I gave her mine. In summary - a beautiful & inspirational book that is a pleasure to own.
