'Playful, informative, with every page a visual delight, Emma Damon explores the amazing range of ways in which we dress ourselves, all over the world. Though this book displays a wonderful variety of clothes, it's not a collection of 'national costumes' but picks on themes like hot and cold, sports, leisure, travel and shopping, and delves into hats, headwear, buttons and textile patterns along the way. Full of surprises, humour and careful detail, this is a book of special charm.'
