Summary
Style is predominantly an individual matter-the way people put themselves together creates a sense of individual identity - but collectively it creates a sense of common culture in a community, a city, or a country. Packed with photos of the stylish and eclectic residents of Sydney, this book is suitable for any fashionista or armchair traveler.
