<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><b>An inspirational journey through black fashion in America from the twentieth century to the present, featuring the most celebrated icons of Black style and taste.<br></b><br> One of the few surveys of Black style and fashion ever published, <i>How to Slay </i>offers a lavishly illustrated overview of African American style through the twentieth century, focusing on the last thirty-five years. Through striking images of some of the most celebrated icons of Black style and taste, from Josephine Baker, Michelle Obama, Maya Angelou, and Miles Davis to Rihanna, Naomi Campbell, Kanye West, and Pharrell Williams, this book explores the cultural underpinnings of Black trends that have become so influential in mainstream popular culture and a bedrock of fashion vernacular today. A preponderance of Black musicians, who for decades have inspired trends and transformed global fashion, are featured and discussed, while a diverse array of topics are touched upon and examined--hats, hair, divas, the importance of attitude, the use of color, '60s style, the influence of Africa and the Caribbean, and the beauty of black skin.<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br><b>Constance C.
