The market for fashion titles is stronger than ever and growing rapidly, with profits rising from ?1 million in 2001 to ?million in 2009.
Virginia Ironside, Janey's daughter, fully supports this newly designed edition. She is the author of ten books, which have sold in seven-figure quantities. An established columnist, she has served as agony aunt in the women's supplement of the Sunday Mirror for the past three decades. Her Dilemmas column in the Independent is also wildly popular. She debuted her one-woman show, Growing Old Disgracefully, at the Edinburgh Fringe Festival in 2015.
Janey's influence continues to shape every facet of today's fashion scene, via the work of her most famous students, Bill Gibb, Ossie Clark, Zandra Rhodes, Moya Bowler, Janice Wainwright, Sally Tuffin and Marion Foale.
Ironside's dictionary caters to a similar market as Christian Dior's best-selling, The Little Dictionary of Fashion: A Guide to Dress Sense for Every Woman, yet offers many more terms in significantly greater detail.
