### ⭐ Boring
*by W***Y on 11 February 2025*

A tedious read. Don't bother.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Packed with fashion style references
*by N***6 on 16 May 2025*

Nice and compact book about fashion style with some history. It has profiles of fashion icons. It's more of a reference book and just a nice handbag size pocket book.
