Shortlisted for the Costume Society of America Millia Davenport Publication Award (2016), this lavishly illustrated book looks at the history of fashion from 1850 to 2010. Taking a decade-by-decade approach, Daniel James Cole and Nancy Deihl explore the history of fashion as a lively and dynamic manifestation of twentieth-century culture. Covering chronological changes in womenswear, menswear, and childrenswear, the book looks at the dissemination of style and the mechanisms of change, at the relationship between fashion and the visual, applied, and performing arts, the intertwined relationship between fashion and popular culture, the impact of new materials and technology, and the growing globalization of style. Illustrated with photographs of costume from museums and images from the fashion press including editorial photography, illustrations, and advertising, the book will include insights into icons of fashion and the clothes worn by "real people", providing a valuable visual reference for the reader.

September 19, 2015

Format: HardcoverVerified Purchase

This is simply an amazing review of fashion and of the history surrounding it. The graphics and photos are wonderfully placed and enhance the reading experience. At 460 pages, it's layout makes it very easy to pick an era and dive deep into the people, cultures and events that serve to inform the fashion of that time. Informative, educational and at times a sweet trip down memory lane.

Undoubtedly the most informative, balanced, and beautiful survey of modern fashion history available in English. Also one of the very few to take readers into important developments from the 2000s.

Superb !

November 17, 2015

Format: Hardcover

What a beautiful and comprehensive book ! Each chapter is devoted to a particular decade and broken down into social, economic , and artistic background of the era, basic fashion shapes and innovations, designers, with sub-topics such as outerwear, sportswear, hair and beauty, children's wear, menswear, lingerie, as well as topics germane to each decade. It is lavishly illustrated, with images that are mostly new to me. The text is delightful and informative, but never dry or academic. Highly recommended !
