Charting the movements, developments and ideas that transformed the way women dress, this book gives a unique perspective on the history of twentieth-century fashion. From the invention of the bias cut and the stiletto heel to the designers who changed the way we think about clothes, the book is entertaining, intelligent and a visual feast.

«It displays a wide range of ideas that helped to shape fashion as a whole, from the invention of new materials, trends, and the influence of historic events just to name a few. Illustrated with excellent pictures and examples so that you do not have to go back and forth between the book and another resource to see them» - Micheal Rowley, Illinois State University

«I love that this is a quick visual journey through key elements of trends in fashion. It would be a nice visual supplement to our other texts for students who like a more visual experience» - Katy Jessee, Missouri State University
