Clothing of the "Roaring `20s" comes to life in this new book
through more than 550 color pictures of distinctive garments,
fashion illustrations, and period photographs. The comprehensive
text discusses the historical events and renowned designers who
influenced the evolution of fashion throughout the decade. Fashions
for men, women and children are shown here, from glittering evening
gowns and bridal wear to lingerie, sportswear, and domestic
uniforms. Hats, handbags, shoes, and jewelry plus smoking and
drinking accessories are all included to document the heyday of the
"flapper" and her friends. The glossary includes French fashion
terms and pronunciations and the price guide is a useful reference.
This book provides a sweeping study of the clothing of the 1930s.
Garments of all kinds, from the intimate to the most formal, the
flamboyant to the practical, for women, men and children, are
displayed and discussed in detail. Accessories including jewelry,
hats, and handbags are also explored. Even uniforms used for work,
band, and cheerleading are found in this inclusive work. More than
600 color photographs spread the 1930s fashion world out before
you. An historical overview explains the turbulent 1930s and the
economic depression that so affected every aspect of daily life.
Values for the garments and accessories are found in the captions.
Finally, a glossary, bibliography, and index round out this
fascinating presentation. Designers, historians, and
fashion-conscious consumers will find this an indespensible
reference.
