Customer Reviews

A diverse and enjoyable book.

Not only can this be a very amusing and informative coffee table book, but you can sit down and read it like a novel. It goes through history (in a rather disorderly way) and writes about the different fashions of the times...different designers...and how time developed the current clothes we wear today. For the fashion victim or the fashionless...this is an adorable book.

It's About More than Fashion

This is a great little book about 20th century fashion trends and their cultural and historical influences. I loved the layout and style of the book. Every two pages are on a different topic, so the book can be read and enjoyed in short segments. Also, there is a timeline at the top of each page that helps put each trend in the proper historical perspective. The only problem is that the print is quite small, so have your reading glasses handy!
