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.
