Killer style : how fashion has injured, maimed, and murdered through history / by Serah-Marie McMahon & Alison Matthews David ; illustrations by Gillian Wilson.
Includes bibliographical references (page 46) and index.
Summary:
"Equal parts fab and frightening, Killer Style explores the ways in which make-up, clothing, and accessories have killed, maimed, or tormented those who wear and make them. From the story of hatters felled by mercury poisoning to tulle-burnt ballerinas to the victims of the modern craze for sandblasted denim, no one is safe from these crimes of fashion."-- Provided by publisher.
