The Chronology of Fashion: From Empire Dress to Ethical Design: From Empire Dress to Ethical Design
Author(s): N J Stevenson
A comprehensive look at the development of fashion from the late 18th century to the present.
The Chronology of Fashion traces the history of fashion from the late 18th century up to the present. Following a strict chronology, it pinpoints the times when a distinctive style of suit or dress, hat or handbag, cut or style of hair or fabric, or indeed an entire look attained its peak of popularity and influence. Highly illustrated with full figure images, silhouettes and swatches of materials, the book also looks at key designers, how fashion has played a crucial role in art and film and the trends that identified and defined various periods. This book should be a must for anyone interested in fashion and its development.
