Editorial Reviews

From School Library Journal

Gr 9 Up-This visually compelling resource on fashion for women as championed by Vogue magazine over the last 100 years will have limited relevance to most secondary school curricula. Profusely illustrated with full-color and black-and-white design sketch-es, artwork, and photography reproduced from the pages of that magazine, the set teems with florid prose: "Ever since Eve wore a fig leaf, fashion has been associated with two things: defining sexuality and committing outrageous behaviour." The first two volumes provide an overview of the last century of fashion in six-to-eight page chapters that establish the historical context for each decade's changing mores and styles. The last three volumes provide brief, alphabetically arranged articles on fashion designers from around the world, from Adolfo to Zoran, and include lengthier entries for noted names like Chanel and Versace. The biographical sketches skimp on personal history; portraits of the designers are not provided. Although they represent many nations, the creations are geared to an affluent Western audience. This is not the source to turn to for research on the costumes or manners of common folk. The multivolume format is cumbersome; access is further hampered by the lack of a comprehensive index. For fashion buffs and specialized collections only.

4.0 out of 5 stars Just OK., June 28, 2007
This is a very small book. It's about the size of a paperback novel. The first half is a very brief history of western fashion, focusing on each decade of the 20th century. The second half contains very brief biographies of many fashion designers. How brief? Sometimes there are 5 on a single small page. There are very few photos. I would have liked to have seen one or two photos of every designer's work. Instead there's maybe one photo for every fifth designer. The book is good for a quick lookup of "Who? Never heard of them before." It's not great if you really want to know about someone's work.

5.0 out of 5 stars Elegance, Imagination, Attitude - We've Come So Far!, September 27, 2004
By Barbara Rose (BornToInspire.com) - See all my reviews
(TOP 500 REVIEWER)    (REAL NAME)      
VOGUE was launched in New York on December 17, 1892. This outstanding book chronicles more than just a century of fashion. Written with in-depth focus, this gorgeous book hits on the pulse of the attitudes, societal values, and social elegance that the designer's portrayed, as well as how American culture was reinvented decade after decade. This is one outstanding book, and shows just how far we've come. Special thanks to Linda Watson for an outstanding job in bringing the 20th century to life. Simply FANTASTIC!

5.0 out of 5 stars biographies of 245 international fashion designers, June 19, 2002
By Rosengarten (London, UK) - See all my reviews
Vogue Twentieth Century Fashion - 100 Years of Style by Decade and Designer is another superb book, which we recommend. Written by Linda Watson it is very informative and also has the status of a coffee table book. The book contains the biographies of 245 international fashion designers and couturiers. It starts off with a description about the various fashion decades of the 20th Century. Entertaining are the quotes from old Vogue magazines about the latest fashion trends. The oldest Vogue, which is quoted is from 19 August 1909. Needless to say that there are many pictures and photos on each page.
