I've recently gotten a bit more into fashion and things like the Victoria's Secret Fashion Show (those costumes are so pretty! All handmade as well!), so I thought I'd give you guys a little list of books that are about fashion in one way or another! The Fashion Committee - Susan JubySYNOPSIS: Charlie Dean is a style-obsessed girl who eats, sleeps, and breathes fashion. John Thomas-Smith is a boy who forges metal sculptures in his garage and couldn’t care less about clothes. Both are gunning for a scholarship to the private art high school that could make all their dreams come true. And whoever wins the fashion competition will win the scholarship. Full review here. This book only came out a short while ago, and I read it even earlier because I got an advance copy (yay). I really liked this book and it was all about fashion! Charlie lives and breathes fashion, and she makes some eccentric fashion choices herself. This book is the most fashion based on this list. Lola and the Boy Next Door - Stephanie PerkinsSYNOPSIS: Lola Nolan is a budding costume designer, and for her, the more outrageous, sparkly, and fun the outfit, the better. And everything is pretty perfect in her life (right down to her hot rocker boyfriend) until the Bell twins, Calliope and Cricket, return to the neighborhood. When Cricket, a gifted inventor, steps out from his twin sister's shadow and back into Lola's life, she must finally reconcile a lifetime of feelings for the boy next door. Full review here. Lola's story isn't all about fashion. Her love of fashion and costume designing is a side-plot in this book. It's still very relevant though, as Lola's entire personality revolves around clothes. Her clothes are described very often, and she is working on a big project for a ball gown modelled on Marie-Antoinette's dresses. This is a love story + fashion! Geek Girl - Holly SmaleSYNOPSIS: Harriet Manners knows a lot of things. She knows that a cat has 32 muscles in each ear, a "jiffy" lasts 1/100th of a second, and the average person laughs 15 times per day. What she isn't quite so sure about is why nobody at school seems to like her very much. So when she's spotted by a top model agent, Harriet grabs the chance to reinvent herself. Even if it means stealing her Best Friend's dream, incurring the wrath of her arch enemy Alexa, and repeatedly humiliating herself in front of the impossibly handsome supermodel Nick. Even if it means lying to the people she loves. As Harriet veers from one couture disaster to the next with the help of her overly enthusiastic father and her uber-geeky stalker, Toby, she begins to realise that the world of fashion doesn't seem to like her any more than the real world did. And as her old life starts to fall apart, the question is: will Harriet be able to transform herself before she ruins everything? Full review here. Harriet is a lovable nerd who is thrown into the fashion and modelling world. This book isn't as much about fashion as it is about a complete outsider trying to understand the fashion industry. This series is one of my favourites and it's hilarious and heart-warming and heartbreaking at the same time. Are you interested in fashion? Did you read/like any of these books? Let me know!
