Smashin' Fashion

the long version

**First** a loin cloth and a bit of body paint made a loud fashion statement. **Next** everyone was at it. Men wore corsets, women showed their ankles and fashions changed every five minutes. **Now** just about anything goes – hats that look like shoes, underpants worn over your trousers – and fashions still change every five minutes. This *go-ahead* guide will *kit you out* from tip to toe. *Try on* a hat that started a riot, *tie on* a horsehair bustle that's designed to make your bum look big and *slip on* some pointy shoes ... that are three times as long as your feet. Meet the designer who made rubber, zips and safety pins fashionable, a celebrity with a famous tummy button and the man who made shoulders BIG in the 1980s. PLUS design your own smashin' fashion collection. **If you want to be in the know, get The Knowledge!**
