Description

Fashion Since 1900 charts how dress has changed since 1900. It covers the S-bend shape and couture, or high-end dressmaking, for stars. It also looks at streetwear. Authors Amy de la Haye and Valerie Mendes explore new ideas in style. They look at those who design clothes and shifts in taste.

This history uses images to help tell the story of fashion. It suits readers who seek a broad view of the field. It looks at dress across the world. It links clothes to changes in society, trade, politics, and culture. Its chapters track key shifts in taste and major world events.

This edition has revised text, with colour images throughout. A new chapter looks at the range of ages, genders, and races in fashion. It also looks at work to end labour abuse. It explores efforts to cut the harm the fashion trade does to the planet.
