The fashions and ideas are up-to-date, including Michelle Obama's nontraditional sleeveless dresses described as bringing the First Lady into the modern era, in which glamour is defined by Hollywood and the red carpet rather than protocol and tradition. Regardless, young people considering a career in the business will find plenty of encouragement and useful tips.

The exceptional photos and spreads of questions and answers are attractive and fun to look at, but at times the bold colors and busyness overwhelm the solid text. Essential Items of the Pros are included at the end of each section. Future-minded readers will learn about design, modeling, styling, and photography through interviews, pictures, and lively layouts of tips and photos. Legendary names such as Karl Lagerfeld are intermixed with the latest fashion moguls to give readers advice about how to plan for a career in the industry.
