A chicly designed fashion title that promises to surprise and please the reader, the accessible price point and format paired with smartly elegant and sophisticated content and personalities will attract a broad audience, from fashion forward teenage girls putting together their first looks to the urban fashion femme who pushes the style envelope. Tomboy captures the tomboy's style, her je ne sais quoi, her wardrobe and most importantly, her spirit. Throughout the twentieth century, the mass marketing of gender stereotypes meant tomboys cropped up against the odds, trends and ads. As menswear-inspired fashions for women have exploded into the mainstream under the helm of designers and stylists, acceptance of both the word tomboy and the women associated with its edge has been set into play. A visual history that chronicles the past eighty years of women who blur the line between masculinity and femininity, Tomboy explores the evolution of the style and its icons. Vivid commentary illuminates the tomboy's history and captures a diversity of women who are bound together by their inherent ability to seamlessly blend a rugged sensibility with classic, understatedelegance.
