About This Item
Arnoldsche Art Publishers, 2003. Hardcover. Very Good/Very Good. Unusual costume design from more than two centuries of European fashion history - ranging from Neo-Classicism and Biedermeier to the late 20th century - and including cutting-edge creations by European fashion designers as well as aspiring 'young stars of the fashion firmament'. These fashion designs show how ideals of beauty change, often defined by prevailing fashions and shaping the female silhouette in spectacular ways. Focusing on the aspect of 'moulding femininity', texts and more than two hundred illustrations not only trace the basic lines on which fashion history has developed but shed a sharp light on the relationship between the female body and the dress clothing it." Octavo, 220 pp. Color illus. Decorative white paper-covered boards. In dust jacket. From private collection. Dust jacket shows a little wear, including small closed tear along bottom edges. Pages remain clean and bright.
