Spreads show photographs of individuals dressed in distinctive, often traditional fashions, as well as colorful line drawings, and they provide space for readers to make their own designs. In addition to learning about world fashions, readers will glean cultural and historical insights: "In China, the colors used in clothes are influenced by the ancient Theory of the Five Elements." While the fashions aren't universally representative of individual regions, they will give readers a sense of the overarching diversity in styles of dress worldwide.</i>--<i><b>Publishers Weekly</b></i><br>
