Amazon.com description: Product Description:
No item of clothing has endured for longer than the dress. Yet the last century alone has seen the most radical changes of styleâhemlines swinging from ankle to thigh, outlines alternating between the body-hugging and the bellâand our fascination with the frock has not gone away. From Gresâ draping to Diorâs New Look, from Mary Quantâs mini to Hussein Chalayanâs mechanical marvels, this book looks at the dress in 20th-century fashion. Thematic chaptersâChanges, Feminine, Sex, Must-Haves, Fantasy, Classical, and Artâset out the inspirations and implications for each new change alongside the stunning photography. It has been more than 80 years since Coco Chanel invented the little black dress, but most women still have one in their wardrobes today. Itâs been decades since women discovered trousers and separates, but many women dream of wearing a glorious, glamorous gown at least once, whether itâs on a Hollywood red carpet, or on her wedding day.
