From the Author:
I love this book -- it was the first one I wrote so it is exciting to see it here in a second edition. Most of the clothes featured in the 1920s, '30s and '40s sections are from my own collection. I finished with a new respect for Vivienne Westwood. Had the suit she designed, featured in the 1980s section, been a size larger I would have bought that but restraint, for once, prevailed. Other books on similar themes take a more general, historical perspective, see my titles in the series Twentieth Century Developments in Fashion and Costume.
