Killer style

how fashion has injured, maimed, and murdered through history

The clothes we wear every day keep us comfortable, protect us from the elements, and express our unique style---but could fashion also be fatal? As it turns out, history is full of fashions that have harmed or even killed people. From silhouette-cinching corsets and combustible combs to lethal hair dyes and flammable flannel, this nonfiction book looks back at the times people have suffered pain, injury, and worse, all in the name of style.
