Leo reviews: Fashionista  Written and illustrated by Maxine Beneba Clarke

“Shout it! Loud-roaring big, or sing shy-like-a-whisper… CHIC-A-BOOM! CHIC-A-BOOM! I’m a fashionista!”

What do you need to be a fashionista? Is it lots of money, and great fashion sense? Or a sense of adventure and just having fun? Fashionista says: WHATEVER YOU LIKE! Wear those old pyjamas and still rock the road, dress up fancy, or slick or savvy. Anything you do, as long as you love it, makes you a fashionista (or a fashion king)!

With engaging and sharp multi-media illustrations created with everything from paintings to magazine cut-outs, each image jumps out with magical messages of different fashions styles and senses. A perfect book for any age or stage about being yourself and how your clothing, though it does not make you, can be a way to help you feel the best you possible!
