This book can be read through the Bloomsbury Open Access programme
and is available on www.bloomsburycollections.com. It is funded by
Knowledge Unlatched. The historiography of the Great War has been
significantly renewed in recent years; yet, despite its crucial
social, economic, and cultural importance, the role that fashion
played in shaping wartime experiences and economies on an
international scale between 1914 and 1918 has largely gone
unaddressed. Fashion, Society, and the First World War fills this
gap by offering a comprehensive analysis of the impact of the war
on the ways that the fashion industry functioned in a global
wartime economy, as well as on the ways that women and men
negotiated this new world. With an international, thematic
approach, and illustrated in full color throughout, this volume
discusses the reconfiguration of the fashion industry, wartime
style and production, and the reframing of selfhood, gender roles,
and national identity through visual, print and material culture.
Through analysis of archives, visual chronicles, press, and
garments, and covering an impressive range of topics, from the
feathered showgirl in Paris to the evolution of pilots' uniforms,
these exciting essays show how fashion, even temporarily,
encouraged the articulation of an identity, a society, and a
nation. Fashion, Society, and the First World War provides an
extensive overview by leading fashion historians on an industry in
the midst of major transformation and is both an invaluable guide
and starting point for all researchers, curators, and students
interested in fashion history and the cultural history of the
period.

Vogue Paris has always been so much more than a fashion magazine.
It has assumed a central and vital role on the international
cultural stage, with a history that spans the most inventive
decades in fashion and taste, and in the arts and society. It has
acted as a cultural bellwether, putting fashion in the context of
the larger world in which we live and mirroring its times – the
postwar renaissance of Paris and haute couture, the New Wave, the
radical seventies, the glamorous eighties. As it enters its second
century, it remains at the cutting edge of photography and design.
Published to mark the magazine’s centenary, this book celebrates
Vogue Paris’s history from its first issue in 1920 to its current
incarnation with Emmanuelle Alt at the helm. On its pages are
creations by some of the greatest artists of their era, whether
distinguished illustrators such as Lepape, Gruau and Benito, or
photographers such as Man Ray, Helmut Newton, Guy Bourdin and Mario
Testino. Here, too, are iconic faces: Catherine Deneuve, Audrey
Hepburn, Brigitte Bardot, Kate Moss and more. And of course, it
showcases the fashion designers who defined the century – Chanel,
Dior, Balenciaga, Saint Laurent, McQueen – and explores more
broadly the changing mores of the past hundred years.
