About this title

Synopsis

For anyone interested in collecting and wearing vintage, or eager to check out classic style for inspiration, this lavishly illustrated sourcebook offers a decade-by-decade showcase of twentieth-century fashion. “Key looks” pages present major trends, from Coco Chanel's Style Russe in the 1920s and Christian Dior's 1950s A-line dresses to Emilio Pucci's psychedelic prints and Azzedine Alaļa's “body con” clothing. Fashionistas will love it--and also appreciate the pointers on sourcing and caring for vintage pieces.
