Editorial Reviews

Amazon.com Review

Suzanne Lussier, an expert on French '20s and '30s fashion, is a curator in the Department of Textiles and Dress at the Victoria and Albert Museum. She lives in London.


Product Description

From flapper dresses to feathers, fashion exploded during the Roaring '20s, when clothes became a symbol of a more liberated lifestyle and epitomized the glamour and youthful excitement of the Jazz Age. Hemlines and waistlines slowly crept toward each other as the motto for style--and life--became "Anything Goes!" In ART DECO FASHION the world of Hollywood and F. Scott Fitzgerald comes to life in images of beaded evening dresses for dancing the Charleston; sporty outfits for golf, tennis, and swimming; and clothes designed for traveling in luxury liners, trains, or in streamlined cars. Accented with posters, photographs, and images from fashion magazines of the era, this sumptuous volume presents a thorough and stunning review of Deco fashion.

5.0 out of 5 stars Amazing!!! Well put together, June 11, 2003
So many books out there on the subject of historical clothing are over priced and has pictures printed in black and white, with text making up the bulk of the book.
So I was suprised when this book came from Amazon... you get a hardback full colour well writen book with beautiful pictures, art and information.
Thankfully, the V&A (Victoria and Albert Museum, UK) played a large role in the book. They are the foremost authority on historical clothing, of any period.

Not only does it cover clothing, it goes on to talk and illustrate deco hair tips, sporting fashions, 20's designers from A-Z, fashion icons and much more.

A beautiful book worth every penny.

2.0 out of 5 stars Art Deco Fashion, August 3, 2007
By R. Weissler (Gloucester, VA) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This book would have been better titled Art Deco Fashion of the 1920s. If you are interested in the entire span of art deco fashion that includes the 1930s, this isn't the book for you. Although the inside jacket says it was written to coincide with a major exhibition Art Deco 1910-1939, the 30s are all but forgotten.
If you are looking fr a book that covers fashion of the entire period, look elsewhere.

5.0 out of 5 stars The Bee's Knees!!!, September 5, 2006
By Mary Redcliffe (Saraland, AL USA) - See all my reviews
Fabulous, simply fabulous!!!
If you have any interest in fashion history, the roaring '20s, or beauty, itself, then this glorious little tome is for you.
Compact and precise, filled with incredible images, you will drink it in and look to it again and again.
A treasure!

I don't like most of the clothes in stores these day so I make my own. I found this book inspirational in creating designs that flatter my "ultra-feminine" middle aged figure.
