Fashion History from the 18th to the 20th Century

Great book for fashion interested people

I am obsessed with this book. The layout is great, I love that it alternates between describing the changes in fashion in a certain period and following it by plenty of examples from the institute’s collection. Feeling so inspired by the garments in this book. The information doesn’t cover all points but is a great insight to those new to 18th-19th century fashion in particular.

I’m in love with this book! ❤️It oozes class. It’s not a large book but it’s lovely with a substantial weight to it. The cover, book cover and pages are beautiful quality. I was so pleased when I saw it. It has arrived four days earlier than expected.

Such a large collection of beautiful items in 2 books, well labelled and chronicled to give the reader as much information as possible. There is extensive photos of Japanese fashion intspersed with images of the great European fashion houses which, given the type of collection, isn't surprising. All in all a great coffee table book.

Two big, heavy books full of colour photos. The antique garments of centuries past are presented in a such a way that, although the manequins are shot in neutrally set studios, with the simple addition of period-relevant wigs to the heads of the dummies, we get a strong sense of what a complete outfit would really look like on the body. There are also inserts of paintings to see these fashions in the context of art work of the time. Clear, close-up shots of modern fashion too. A very rich and useful resource.

Good information and fabulous pictures, very useful

Very comprehensive

I purchased this book and it arrived in perfect condition and on time. I was, and am more than happy with the product itself and I would most definitely buy from this seller again.They also answered all my questions thoroughly and didn't hesitate to answer them.This book is also currently out of print and was a major find, and very reasonably priced.You won't be disappointed.
