The most ambitious and comprehensive book on women’s vintage
fashion ever published, featuring over 1,000 garments dating from
the 1920s to the 1980s. This is not just another history of
fashion: it is a survey of how fashion past continues to inspire
fashion present. It features over 1,000 stand-out pieces, together
with over 300 contextual illustrations, dating from the 1920s to
the 1980s, including many icons of vintage fashion, from Marilyn
Monroe’s bra to the Ossie Clark dress made so famous by David
Hockney’s painting. Each garment is explored from the viewpoint
of the contemporary fashionista looking to build a vintage
wardrobe. The book is organized into three main sections. 'Decades'
explores the shapes and fabrics that define the look of each
period. 'Elements' explores the individual components of a vintage
look, everything from hat to shoes. 'Hallmarks' explores
fashion’s perennial themes, from florals to the ever-popular
Little Black Dress. Finally, a reference section includes
invaluable practical advice for fans and collectors of vintage.
