Parisian fashion: a cultural history
14.99 €
Is Paris still the fashion capital of the world? This question is answered in her book by Valerie Steele, a famous fashion historian and director of the Museum of the Fashion Institute of Technology in New York. The author brilliantly solves the task he sets himself: to show the evolution of Parisian style. It is style that gives Paris its uniqueness, making it a place where "all the achievements of civilization, from avant-garde art to elegant fashion" have found their embodiment. The private lives of Parisians, the novels of Balzac and Proust, the theater, the connection between fashion trends and historical epochs are unfolded in a fascinating narrative spanning several centuries. The study of the history of Parisian fashion goes far beyond "fashion talk" and becomes a reflection on the global processes of European and world culture of the XVIII-XXI centuries.
