Through a highly original and detailed analysis of the memoirs,
interviews and other life writings of Poiret, Dior and
Schiaparelli, this book explores changing notions of femininity in
the early decades of the 20th century, when the democratization of
fashion began.
Examining idea of modernity, eternity and the ephemeral in the
writings of these haute couturiers, the book reflects on fashion's
ambivalent approach to women, which both celebrated and vilified
them, presenting them as both ultra modern style leaders and
irrational creatures stuck in the past.
This fascinating text is key reading for scholars and students of
fashion, gender studies, cultural studies and history.
