Wonderful book - great value for money
This is an excellent book that provides a comprehensive history of fashion over the centuries, placing in its social and cultural context. Thousands of wonderful images with detailed descriptions and a very useful glossary at the end of the volume. A great resource for anyone interested in fashion and a wonderful coffee table book for everyone to browse (the fluoro lime green cover is a bit strong on the eye but I understand it is consistent with the editorial choice made by DK for their visual guides’ series). The book is also great value for money and was delivered in pristine conditions earlier than expected so happy on all fronts!
