Paperback. Condition: Very Good. This lively survey of 150 years of fashion covers everything from Haute Couture to the High Street, and developing fabric technology from silk to fleece. From Coco Chanel to Armani and Alexander McQueen, Breward explores fashion as a cultural phenomenon. Breward examines the glamorous world of Vogue and advertising, the relationship between fashion and film, and fashion as a business, and goes beyond the surface to consider our interaction with fashion. How have our ideas about hygiene and comfort influenced the direction of style? How does our dress create our identity and status? Details of dandies, flappers, and punks are contained within a clear overview of the period which will make you look at your clothes in a different light. The book has been read, but is in excellent condition. Pages are intact and not marred by notes or highlighting. The spine remains undamaged.

Two large paintings dated "4/11/54" captures detailing accounts of posh 1950's attire. The model boasts a matching rose-hued set, comprised of a slim pencil skirt and corseted blazer. The artist, "Virginia", meticulously details accents on the blazer's arms and its rear. The blazer illustrated is an ode to the 1930's, as "the exaggerated shoulder-on suits and dresses-was a hallmark of 1930s fashion achieved through padding, layers of fabric, and other embellishments". They also illustrate elegant gloves and a face-net draping from a small cloche hat, decorated with a feather. In another sketch, the artist sketches three women dressed in draped long-sleeve dressed, all synched at the waist by a statement belt. The artist details the draping of the coats and dresses by faint shadowing, alternating between darker and light shades of black and gray. The women illustrated capture the androgynous influences in fashion that pervaded the 20's and 30's. Another 1920's sketch illustrates a woman in a long black gown, extravagant fur coat, head dress, and a elongated cigarette holder. The artist also details the bold floral earrings, and utilizes various shades of black, gray, and accents of white to create texture.

Wichner", the model sports a long black plunge gown, decorated with a floral halter neckline. The model also sports a long 1920's style evening cape, matching the color of her gown. By use of faint blue hues, the artists meticulously elongates and illuminates the figure of the model. Several sketches bear original artist's initials or name. Expressive accounts of vintage early to mid-century women's fashion, in very good condition overall.

(lacking half title, as usual), 485 pp. Tasteful contemporary tree calf, covers with gilt pentaglyph-and-metope border, very expertly rebacked to style, smooth spine lavishly gilt in compartments separated by pentaglyph-and-metope roll and filled with repeating patten of floral and other small tools, red morocco label, marbled endpapers. Engraved frontispiece illustrating Shakespeare's "Seven Ages of Man" printed in sanguine, and 10 PLATES OF ELABORATE AND FREQUENTLY FANTASTICAL HAIRSTYLES, engraved on copper by Delegal. A Large Paper Copy. Colas 2802; Hiler, p. 816; Lipperheide 1681; ESTC T145753. â Occasional minor (mostly marginal) foxing (though three quires more noticeably affected), four plates with faint browning to margins, other trivial imperfections, but A VERY FRESH COPY WITH EXTREMELY WIDE MARGINS, in quite a handsome skillfully restored binding showing almost no signs of wear. Published for ladies' maids and valets as well as that less fortunate woman who relied on her own hands for hairstyling, this work supplies "ample rules . . . [and] directions" for arranging and preserving hair, along "with a history of the hair and head dress, from the earliest ages to the present time, particularly as they have appeared upon the English stage" during the 16th, 17th, and 18th centuries. Our author/hairdresser James Stewart offers a comprehensive analysis of hair's growth, nature, and color as well as the various products, cosmetics, and wigs that might be used in hair care, styling, and replacement. No doubt to widen the potential customer base for the book, its protracted subtitle goes on to inform us that "the plan of this work requiring it, there are also complete rules for the management of children and education of youth; and excellent rules for the preservation of the health and happiness of age; being a guide through the seven ages of man: the whole interspersed with moral thoughts, being necessary for all families." But it's mostly about hair. Stewart has illustrated this work with some of his elegant and fanciful creations for both men and women, the latter evincing his (intuitive) belief in the old Southern maxim, "The higher the hair, the closer to God." He employs actresses for his examples, and throws in occasionally unkind commentary on the personal grooming of past and present stars of the stage. It is extremely fortunate to find a clean, bright copy of this work, especially with plates so minimally affected by discoloration. All of the other copies we've encountered have been sadly affected by overall browning and significant foxing. Uncommonly seen in agreeable condition, the book is also just plain uncommon in general.
