Product ID: 49944465
What did Vogue's first cover look like? When did film stars become part of the fashion industry? What led to the development of ready-to-wear clothing? How did the paintings of Mondrian, Dali and Warhol end up on the runway? These and other questions are answered in this eye-opening look at different aspects of the history of fashion - from Elizabeth I's 'Mask of Youth'; to Lady Gaga's 'meat dress'; Arranged by topic, the lavishly illustrated chapters explore themes such as war and the military; ready-to wear; fashion in film, art, and sports; celebrity; gay and lesbian fashion; globalization and the internet.

Filled with colourful images - many of them full-page - and extensive essays that are both informative and engaging, this indispensable reference offers a historical snapshot of what we used to wear and why we choose the clothes that we do today.

Excelente calidad
Un libro muy disfrutable, tanto por su contenido como por su calidad en cuanto objeto. Papel de alto gramaje, buena impresión, muchas fotos bien elegidas, perfecto para pasar unas horas amenas entendiendo los grandes hitos de la moda. Muy recomendado para todos los interesados en historia de la moda, y también muy apto como coffee table book. Además lo conseguí por unos 15€, una maravilla.
