For Fashion Sake Read…

I love reading and what a better time than winter to cozy up with a mug of your favorite beverage, a blanket and a fashion book to deepen your knowledge or simply to keep you current on the happenings in the fashion industry. Here is a list of fashion books on my reading list. I also love bringing books into my classroom. Pick a book and begin reading to your students. It is a great way to bring more literacy to the fashion classroom.

Reading promotes more than literacy

Reading books to your students not only promotes literacy but also community and creativity in the classroom. As you read, make connections with the global fashion industry and get them dreaming about their futures.
