The Teaching Librarian 24.3 11 Fashion Designer by Yashuko New York: Little Bee, 2016 ISBN 9781499801941 The word "Pictology" on the cover of this book caught my attention; as it turns out, it is simply the name of a series of colouring books, including this one on fashion. Why would a teacher- librarian include a colouring book in the collection? Hopefully patrons can be persuaded that the book is neither intended for colouring, nor for sticking down the included stickers (which I would remove). Instead I would encourage aspiring fashion designers to read the brief lines of text that provide useful clues about how fashion designers do their work. The simplified line art can provide a model for the students' own drawings instead of being the target of crayons, pencils, and markers. Targeted at seven- to twelve-year-olds, this book will help students learn to think like fashion designers, learn some basic jargon, and reflect on a possible career while they have fun (not defacing the book). Design Principles: Canadian Museum of History by Douglas Cardinal Gatineau: Canadian Museum of History, 2016 ISBN 9781988282046 Last October, indigenous architect Douglas Cardinal was in the news for a Human Rights complaint against Cleveland's baseball team seeking a ban on the use of its Chief Wahoo logo. He has built this role as a champion of Indigenous causes on his successful career as an architect who integrates indigenous design principles into his plans for buildings such as the Canadian Museum of History and the National Museum of the American Indian in Washington. He elaborated on his philosophy in an earlier book written with Jeanette Armstrong, The Native Creative Process (ISBN 0919441262) in 1991. In his new book, Cardinal reflects on how the grand curvilinear forms in the Canadian Museum of History and its grounds articulate a connection with the natural environment and surrounding Laurentian landscape that characterizes his vision. Fashion: A Canadian Perspective Edited by Alexandra Palmer Toronto: University of Toronto Press, 2004 ISBN 9780802085900 Although dated, this collection of essays from the Royal Ontario Museum provides a valuable academic perspective on Canadian fashion for senior students who want to move beyond fashion magazines and designer biographies to make connections between fashion and industry, the media, and the broad sweep of history. In an introduction and fifteen essays, this book covers a wide range of topics including "Dressing Up: A Consuming Fashion," "Defrocking Dad: Masculinity and Dress in Montreal 1700-1867," "Fashion and War in Canada, 1939-1945," and "The Fashion of Writing, 1985-2000: Fashion-Themed Television's Impact on the Canadian Fashion Press." This book could be a useful resource for students and teachers in history and the social sciences as well as for those with an interest in Canadian fashion and design.
