A celebration of fashion's most adventurous, outrageous moments.
The modern history of fashion has always had significant turning points
that altered everything that came afterward--from the first outing of
Chanel's little black dress and the scandal of the first miniskirt to
Alexander McQueen's armadillo shoes and Jean Paul Gaultier's cone bra
for Madonna. This book honors and celebrates these ground- breaking
fashion moments.
Each of the one hundred fashion turning points is illustrated and put
into its historical context--how and why it was ahead of the curve. The
emphasis is on the designer who created it, the celebrity or personality
who wore it, and why it was groundbreaking in terms of the social and
cultural shift it created.
