5.0 out of 5 stars
Excellent source book, November 7, 2005
This review is from: Fashion Accessories: The Complete 20th Century Sourcebook (Hardcover)
I first saw this book in Casa Mila museum shop in Barcelona and later regretted that I didn't buy it. I was delighted to find this book on Amazon. It contains pages after pages of very detailed colour drawings of men's and women's accessories through the century including the explanations. Moreover, included are the pictures of the complete look of each decade. It is an excellent, complete and clear source book which can be a great aid for such a perfectionist like me

A Good Reference to Add to an Existing Fashion Library, March 9, 2006
This review is from: Fashion Accessories: The Complete 20th Century Sourcebook (Hardcover)
Even though I wish that these were photos, I recognize just how much work went into compiling this book and others that John Peacock has produced. This is a great book to help one understand visually subtle changes in fashion over the decades of the 20th century. I found it very interesting and feel that I will constantly reach for it for inspiration and ideas.
