Originally published in France between 1876 and 1888, Auguste Racinet's "Le Costume Historique" was the most wide-ranging and incisive study of clothing ever attempted. Racinet's organization has been preserved in this magnificent and complete reprint.
Covering the world history of costume, dress, and style from antiquity through the end of the 19th century, this grand work, originally published between 1876 and 1888, remains completely unique in its scope and detail.
Classic pictorial history of fashion from around the world depicts costumes over the centuries, from ancient Egyptians wearing pleated loincloths to well-dressed Parisian ladies of the late 1800s. 57 color plates. 69 black-and-white plates.
Tracing the evolution of fashion-from the early draped fabrics of ancient times to the catwalk couture of today, Fashion: The Definitive History of Costume and Style is a stunningly illustrated guide to more than three thousand years of shifting trends and innovative developments in the world of clothing. With a wealth of breathtaking spreads-from ancient Egyptian dress to Space Age Fashion and Grunge-and information on icons like Marie Antoinette, Clara Bow, Jacqueline Kennedy, and Alexander McQueen, Fashion will captivate anyone interested in style-whether it's the fashion-mad teen in Tokyo, the wannabe designer in college, or the fashionista intrigued by the violent origins of the stiletto and the birth of bling.
