Nancy MacDonell Smith explores the origins; meaning; and remarkable staying power of the ten staples of feminine fashion: * the little black dress * the white shirt * the cashmere sweater * blue jeans * the suit * high heels * pearls * lipstick * sneakers * the trench coat Tracing the evolution of each item from inception to icon status; she reveals the history and social significance of each; from the black dresss associations with danger and death to the status implications of the classic white shirt. Incorporating sources from history; literature; magazines; and cinema; as well as her own witty anecdotes; Smith has created an engaging; informative guide to modern style.
