A History of Fashion and Costume is an eight-volume set that
examines the development of costume and fashion over time - from
the earliest cave dwellers to the present - along with the social
history that gave rise to it. Introducing readers to the rich world
of fashion and dress, this set vividly depicts the changing styles,
processes, and trends - from the first people to wear clothes in
the last Ice Age to the courtly fashion of medieval Europe to the
globalization of Western style - that led us to the clothing of
today. Describing both the practical uses of clothing and the
highly impractical clothes that have been used throughout history
to convey social status, these volumes provide a compelling look at
the effects of fashion and costume on society. Each accessible
volume describes the fashions of the time, styles and designs, and
the changing use of materials. Beautiful illustrations and engaging
text examine clothing as well as the jewelry, hairstyles, hats, and
footwear that accompanied the fashions and made them unique.
Special features in each volume include a foreword written by a
fashion industry expert as well as a helpful glossary, timeline,
and index.
