“I don’t do fashion. I am fashion.”
Mabel the Fashion Muse - A Fashion Story for Kids
This is a story about Mabel, a chatty dress form of a budding fashion designer, and her companion, a little Yorkie named Brooklyn, and their fashion adventures through NYC from sample room to runway.
Mabel and her trusty sidekick, a pipsqueak Yorkie, take you through the cobblestone streets of the designer’s Brooklyn atelier to Seventh Avenue in Manhattan, the heart of the fashion industry. The rush to complete a fashion collection for the big runway show is not without a few fashion faux pas. A missing piece de resistance, a taxi fiasco, and a ticking clock to the fashion show deadline. Can Mabel, the whimsical fashion muse, pull it off?
Join Mabel and Brooklyn on a fun, behind the scenes look into the real world of fashion and what it takes to become a fashion designer. Empowering young girls to follow their dreams (and dream big!) and develop an entrepreneurial spirit at an early age. Written and illustrated by designer Stacy Johnson and modeled after her own experience launching a clothing line and boutique from scratch in Brooklyn.
“Keep your eyes open. Because whatever you see can inspire you.”
