The glamour of the 30's and the extremes of the 80's, from the corsets of the belle epoque to the kaftans of the 70's, 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.
