Title/Author: Queen of Fashion by Caroline Weber Historical Time Period: French Revolution Brief summary: Weber examines Marie Antoinette's fashion during her reign as Queen of France and how it played a crucial role in her fate and her legacy as a fashion icon. It's definitely an "ode to dressmaking" as a political tool and seriously deconstructs the modern public view of Marie Antoinette as the "cake queen."
