From simple to sophisticated, elegant to excessive, discover more than three thousand years of shifting trends and innovative developments in the world of style. Tracing the evolution of fashion -- from the early draped fabrics of ancient times to the catwalk couture of today -- this book is a stunningly illustrated guide to the art of clothing. Fashion: The Definitive History of Costume and Style uses stunning photography to trace the history of changing fashions and styles. Truly vast in scope, taking in everything from from ancient Egyptian dress to Space Age Fashion and Grunge, and including stories about icons like Marie Antoinette, Clara Bow, Jacqueline Kennedy, and Alexander McQueen, Fashion catalogs the history of what people wear. It reveals how Western fashion has been influenced by design from around the world and celebrates all forms of costume and haute couture. Fashion: The Definitive History of Costume and Style is sure to inspire.

Euro centric clothing
it's not really a complete history of fashion, though it is very good for European styles. It has both male and female garb but lacks Most Asian clothing. There is mention of a modern Japanese designer but not really ancient Japanese wear. India and China are only mentioned in the appendix. Same with African clothes.Verified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned

A lavish Look at Fashion Through Time
Complete and comprehensive in a beautifully illustrated and lavish presentation. More than just fashion illustration but rather an examination of how history and culture was influential in the evolution of style. A thorough look at western design. The only negatives are that modern era clothing is limited to runway styles and there is little on other cultures.Verified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned
