內容簡介: |
This book documents in pictures the most exciting and
diverse period in fashion: from 1900 to today, covering high
society, uniforms, sportswear, streetwear and couture. It will
appeal to everyone with an interest in fashion as well as students.
The last hundred or so years bore witness to the transformation of
womens fashion. The restrictive corsetry of the early twentieth
century gave way to looser styles such as those made fashionable by
French fashion designer Paul Poiret. As womens lives changed
dramatically under the shadow of two World Wars, so the style of
female dress was altered beyond recognition. From home dressmaking
to couture, from rationing to The New Look, from the birth of the
teenager to mass manufacture, from high society to celebrity
culture. Over 400 photographs and illustrations, many published for
the first time, tell the stylish story of a fashion
revolution.
