Product Description
Fashion is a fickle friend. One moment we're dressed in a velour jumpsuit, showing off our new perm to the world, the next we're contemplating burning our house down to get rid of the photographic evidence! But there's no need to blame ourselves for these lapses in style and judgement, when we can blame fashion. In this anti-style bible, some of the very worst fashion trends of all time are collected, in the hope that they'll never again escape to taunt us. Clothes and hairstyles that we all loved at the time, but that in retrospect were, well, simply horrible. From kipper ties to shell suits, batwing sleeves to the puffball skirt, snoods to mood rings, The Worst Fashion Trends in the World reminds you that you weren't the only one who fell for the hype. Funny and nostalgic, this book is a must for anyone who's ever had the popper on their 'body' ping at an inopportune moment, or their Global Hypercolour T-shirt reveal their hot armpits to the world!
About the Author
Richard Jarman is a very poorly dressed man. He blames this on a 1970s upbringing in the West Midlands, with its obligatory flares, parka coats and space-hoppers. He is a keen people-watcher and is co-author of No Place Like Home (New Holland).
