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 the significant developments in fashion since 1900.
Authors Amy de la Haye and Valerie Mendes focus on key movements and
innovations in style for both men and women, and explore trends through
the work of the most original and influential designers. Chapters are
organized around crucial shifts in style and major world events, and
exciting advances in fashion are placed within their socioeconomic,
political, and cultural contexts.
International in scope, this new edition includes updates to the text,
including chapters on the most important new designers and the impact of
online shopping. Fully illustrated in vibrant color throughout, Fashion
Since 1900 includes a helpful reference section with an extensive
bibliography.
