Another, "The White Dress," illustrates exquisite examples from the 18th century through modern designs. Other categories include "Men of Three Centuries" and "The Contemporaries," which features pieces by the likes of Christian Dior, Vivienne Westwood, and Gianni Versace. Approximately 75 illustrations in full color, 9 x 12" Richard Martin is curator of The Costume Institute of The Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York, and the author of numerous books, including Haute Couture, Versace, Infra-Apparel, and Cubism and Fashion, all available from Abrams.
