From camisoles to corsets, basques to boudoir caps and girdles to
garters, Underwear: Fashion in Detail gets up close to some of the
most intimate items in the V&A. The book traces the evolution
of underwear, from rare examples dating from the sixteenth century
and the exaggerated shapes of eighteenth-century courtly
undergarments, to Dior's curvaceous 'New Look' girdles to
contemporary lingerie by Agent Provocateur and Rigby and Peller.
Meticulous colour photography shows these fascinating garments in
close detail, while intricate line drawings reveal their
construction. The book also highlights the work of designers such
as Vionnet and Westwood, who have taken influence from underwear
for their own outerwear creations.
