From the turn-of-the-century S-bend silhouette to celebrity couture
of the new millennium and the evolution of streetwear, this
comprehensive survey explores significant developments in fashion
from 1900 to the present day. Fashion historians Amy de la Haye and
Valerie Mendes focus on key movements and innovations in style, and
explore trends through the work of some of the world's most
original and influential designers and couturiers. Chapters are
organized around crucial shifts in tastes and major world events,
and exciting advances in fashion are placed within their
socioeconomic, political and cultural contexts. International in
scope with colour illustrations throughout, this edition includes
updated text as well as a new chapter that discusses some of the
defining features of fashion in our time: the industry's proactive
embrace of age, gender and race diversity, and its ongoing efforts
to combat labour exploitation and encourage global sustainability.
With 315 illustrations in colour
