Review: I love it, images and test are great. - Not only are the influential fashion icons or designers of each period discussed, but also the political, social, and economical movements that affected the fashion. It provides a great understanding as to why people wore what they wore, as well as being transparent with how some conclusions about ancient civilizations came about. It was wonderful.
Review: I love this book - I love this book, I use it as my teaching source for my Fashion History class in our theatre and film department. I wish I had known about it in time to get the instructors version through school. It has a good vocabulary section for fashion terminology and my students appreciate the references from historical time periods that influenced contemporary fashion pieces. The context of fashion as human history works well to engage budding directors and designers in seeing clothing as the extension of characters within any particular time period. I wish I had access to more of the interactive materials.
