Product Description
No item of clothing has endured for longer than the dress. Yet the last
century alone has seen the most radical changes of style - hemlines
swinging from ankle to thigh; outlines alternating between the
body-hugging and the bell - and our fascination with the 'frock' has not
gone away. From Gres' draping to Dior's New Look, from Mary Quant's
mini to Hussein Chalayan's mechanical marvels, this book looks at the
dress in twentieth century fashion. thematic chapters (Changes,
Feminine, Sex, Must-haves, Fantasy, Classical and Art) set out the
inspirations and implications for each new change alongside the stunning
photography. It is more than eighty years since Coco Chanel invented
the little black dress, but every woman still has one in her wardrobe
today. It's decades since women discovered trousers and separates, but
every woman dreams of wearing a glorious, glamorous gown at least once,
whether it's on a Hollywood red carpet, or just on her wedding day.
