This exciting book explores fashion not simply from an aesthetic point of view but also as a manifestation of social and cultural change.

Focusing on fashion from 1850, noted fashion historians Daniel James Cole and Nancy Deihl consider the evolution of womenswear, menswear, and childrenswear, decade by decade. 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.

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.

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 !

Reviewed in the United States on November 17, 2015

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 !

Glad I bought it though

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on January 10, 2018

An interestingly written book - talks about the social & cultural influences on fashion more than the actual fashion itself. Does have an American POV so there were a few things that this UK reader felt were missing or strangely emphasized.... Glad I bought it though.

Terrific History Lesson of Modern Fashion

Reviewed in Canada on April 18, 2016

Verified Purchase

I am most familiar with fashion from the 80s and 90s so I started with these sections first. This text book did justice to these eras in a very thorough manner. I love how the authors incorporated influence from art, music, and entertainment to demonstrate how fashion was inspired by these various forms of media. It was great reading about certain designers who are gone but not forgotten. I can't wait to learn more about the history of modern fashion as I explore the rest of the textbook.
