Description
One of America's premiere fashion historians now offers an unrivaled and exceptional fashion resource. Fashion: A Timeline in Photographs is an immersive volume–a 150-year visual odyssey–tracks year by year, decade by decade, the metamorphosing fashion silhouettes up to the present-day. With over 700 photographs, almost all of which are rare–either never before published or rarely seen. A definitive and beautifully illustrated visual history of fashion–from the crinoline-supported billowing skirts and enormous ballooning sleeves of the late 19th century to the hemlines that fell along with the crashing stock market in 1929; through the shocking pants styles of the '30s and short A-line shifts of the '60s; through the designer-driven styles of the '80s, '90s, and today.
