Product Description
Product Description
Decades of Fashion documents the styles of the twentieth century in extraordinary photographs - a fascinating insight into 100 years of fashion history. - The great forerunners of fashion and the classics - Icons of style like Grace Kelly, Jackie Onassis, and Twiggy - The top designers, from Coco Chanel to Alexander McQueen - Includes both haute couture and pret-a-porter - The most important fashion developments of the twentieth century in brilliant images from the Getty Images collection The glamour of the 30s and the extremes of the 80s, from the corsets of the belle epoque to the caftans of the 70s, this book presents an impressive array of images depicting the world of fashion in the twentieth century. Chanel's jersey suits, Dior's "new look", Mary Quant miniskirts or Alaias stretch bodysuits: they have all had an impact on everyday dress, as well. In addition to the great designers, prominent role models like Marlene Dietrich or Madonna have initiated new trends. Even political events have repercussions for fashion, and this book places many fashion fads in their historical context. Decades of Fashion has captured the realm of fashion in hundreds of photographs that show not only designer creations on the catwalk, but also everyday style. Brilliant pictures encompassing every area of life and a wide range of situations tell the fascinating history of fashion.

Format:Paperback
Beautiful book, fascinating insight to changes in fashion over the last century with little snippets of social history thrown in to indicate the climate designers were working in and real women were living through. Excellent value for money, handy size, great for either dipping in and out of or using for inspiration from specific eras.

This book is a good small resume about each decade of fashion of the 20th century. If you are looking for something outstanding it's not the book for you, but if you have no clue what was each decade, so you'll find this info inside.
