Product details

The most ambitious and comprehensive book on women's vintage fashion ever published, featuring over 1,000 garments dating from the 1920s to the 1980s. This is not just another history of fashion; it is a survey of how fashion past continues to inspire fashion present. It features over 1,000 standout pieces, together with over 300 contextual illustrations, including many icons of vintage fashion, from Marilyn Monroe's bra to the Ossie Clark dress made famous by David Hockney's painting. Each garment is explored from the viewpoint of the contemporary fashionista looking to build a vintage wardrobe.

The book is organized into three main sections. "Decades" explores the shapes and fabrics that define the look of each period. "Elements" explores the individual components of a vintage look, everything from hats to shoes. "Hallmarks" explores fashion's perennial themes, from florals to the ever-popular Little Black Dress. Finally, a reference section includes invaluable practical advice for fans and collectors of vintage.
