Fans--they are mysterious and magical, and have been elevated to an
art form by the great artists and decorators. They can be viewed as
a tangible extension of femininity, style, and elegance. This book
tells the fascinating tale of the fan as both a charming fashion
accessory and a sophisticated mirror reflecting the changes in
fashion and culture over time. Covering medieval times to the
twentieth century, individual chapters trace the history of fans
and their relationship to the major fashion trends of each era.
Over 255 images, including dramatic original photos as well as
historical illustrations, showcase fans made of paper, silk, lace,
wood, celluloid, feathers, and more. Different shapes and styles of
fans are featured, including fixed, pleated, and brise fans,
souvenir fans, even several restored fans shown in "before and
after" photos. An outstanding resource for fashion historians,
students, designers, collectors, and aficionados, this unique study
of the fan and its relationship to fashion will be of great
interest to anyone who appreciates beautiful clothing and beautiful
accessories.
