Nuostabus albumas. Nuostabios nuotraukos. Nuostabios asmenybės ir jų istorijos. Tikrai puiki dovana būtų kiekvienam mėgstančiam domėtis mada, stiliumi😊 ir tik viena mintis privertė pagalvoti, kai autoriai savo įžangoje parašė, jog šiais laikais nėra tokių asmenybių, kurios kurtų tokią madą, stilių istorijoje, kurie išliks nuostabūs ir vis dar tinkami ateityje. Klasikinio stiliaus. Ir aš tam kaip ir pritariu, bet tuo pačiu ir galvoju, kad neaišku kaip bus ateityje, gal po 100 metų ir Kardashians stilius atrodys kaip klasikinis😁😁😁

Una excelente recopilación de mujeres que cambiaron la moda, que prevalecen como íconos hasta ahora.

Iki tobulybės pritrūko, kad paminimi kai kurie ikoniškiausi momentai, bet nėra nuotraukų, kurios juos iliustruotų.

Tiesiog graži, labai gražiai išleista knyga pavartymui, bet turinys gan silpnokas.
