4.0 out of 5 stars The best overview of rock and it's costumes yet, January 3, 2000

By 

Erin Malloy (USA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Rock Fashion (Hardcover)

At last someone finally got it right! Although the setup may throw some people off (suits, dresses, shoes, hair, etc), the aim of the book is to illustrate and explain the trends and movements in rock and how they have affected fashion. Some dates are a little off, and the selection of pictures isn't absolutely PERFECT, but this enjoyable read far outshines the rival Rock Style book that Hilfiger just released. Definitely recommended for anyone with a passing interest in rock history or fashion.

5.0 out of 5 stars Turn on some music (loud) and enjoy!, April 12, 2001

This review is from: Rock Fashion (Hardcover)

Terrific photographs, well organized, make this book worth a look. The author's choice to organize into section such as suits, dresses/skirts, hair and accessories was the right one. The book would have been less appealing if it had been organized, say, by decade or by music style. The text supports the photos without saying too much. All the biggies are here - Madonna's bustier, the Beatles moptops, the Stones suits and Kiss makeup. Plus many others that are less famous but just as important. Put on some great music, turn it up and enjoy!
