Janey Ironside was a fashion legend in the United Kingdom. She created the position of professor of fashion at the Royal College of Art, where she mentored 1960s superstars such as Ossie Clark and Zandra Rhodes. A true fashion devotee, when post-war rationing prevented her from purchasing the latest designs, she used discarded blackout curtains to create her own “New Look” Diors. This A to Z book covers fashion theory and facts. Aphorisms abound. One example, “Necklines always make headlines.” Uncommon.
