About this title

Synopsis:

This is an illustrated volume offering a journey through the wardrobes of the twentieth-century's best dressed women. Way is approached flavour by flavor describing with detail the evolution of style, illustrating how mode tin act every bit a barometer of social change. Why did Edwardian women change six times a day? Why did flappers mimic adolescent boys? How did The Bang-up Low affect hemlines? Why did women retreat back into corsets after the state of war? Were London's punks using clothes every bit a language of rebellion? The author contends that answers to these questions contribute to historians understanding of a period.

From Library Journal:

That this detailed year-past-twelvemonth survey is based on Vogue is both its strength and its weakness. Because Vogue has been at the centre of 20th-century way, the myriad photographs selected from its pages--and spanning the years 1909 to 1989--are an invaluable relate. The mag as well provides a solid celebrated base for the text. Nonetheless like Vogue, this volume covers only women's fashion and views it just from the Faddy viewpoint, which is non necessarily that of the boilerplate person. In dissimilarity, Elizabeth Ewing's History of Twentieth Century Fashion (Barnes & Noble, 1986) offers a broader perspective by including inexpensive, ready-to-clothing fashions. Withal, the use of diaries, memoirs, and historical documents combine with the writer's able analysis to create an impressive work valuable to social historians, costume designers, and other followers of high fashion.
