- Summary:
- Become fashion forward by flashing back to the major figures, crucial moments, and items of clothing that not only influenced the way we dressed, but helped define the mood of the times and changed the course of style forever. Marvel over dozens of stunning garments on page after page of superb photographs and drawings as you go beyond the glossy facade of the industry to uncover what it is about this distinguished list that has shaped attitudes and fashion through the 20th century. The house of Worth, the fathers of couture; Vogue magazine; Chanel and sunbathing; women in trousers; photographer May Ray; Dior's "New Look"; Mary Quant and the miniskirt; Studio 54 and club chic; the trainer as fashion footwear-- all have made a mark on the way we dress today.
