New book, Fairy Tale Fashion, aims to bring the scenery and fashion of the imaginative worlds explored in fairy tales to life. Written by
From Cinderella’s glass slipper to Little Red Riding Hood’s cape, it is clear that fashion played a crucial role in fairy tales, signalling the status of a character and depicting their transformation.
