If you truly love fashion and want to know everything about it, this book will be an invaluable gift. Authoritative historians Daniel James Cole and Nancy Dale have done a tremendous job of collecting hundreds of unique facts and more than 600 archival illustrations to tell the story of clothing in the context of time, society, art, and new technologies - decade by decade. From the 1850s, when crinoline and bouffant skirts ruled the day, to today's "labels" and sports chic. You will dive into the atmosphere of high fashion, learn about the formation of famous designers and how fashion capitals developed, where the golden mean between "couture bums" and "couture bohemians" is, and why women's petticoats used to be ridiculed by drawing caricatures of them. From disco style to post-grunge, from movie stars to "style icons", from literary heroines to models from glossy covers - here you will find answers to questions about "strange" and current trends. "Fashion History" - a detailed account of the evolution of women's, men's and children's clothing, which will capture your attention like a fascinating movie.
