Great examples of Vintage

Well designed book of each fashion era,, helpful in seeing the trends by decade, design, and fabrics. Showing the very feminine styles from the Edwardian early 1900's to the avant-garde of the 1990's, it is a great romp through fashion styles of the last century!

A must-have for fashionistas

Although this book is clearly intended for women who are interested in buying high-end vintage fashions and want to know what to look for, it's actually a history of 20th century fashion, from the pre-World War I era to the eighties. The author not only explains who the top designers were during each decade and what their signature styles were, she also lists all the major trends and illustrates how the political and social background of each era influenced fashions. It's beautifully illustrated throughout, with photographs of vintage pieces as well as reproductions of advertisements and magazine photographs.
