The most ambitious and comprehensive book on women's vintage fashion ever published, featuring over 1,000 garments dating from the 1920s to the 1980s. This is not just another fashion history: it is an exploration of how past fashion continues to inspire modern style.
It includes over 1,000 unique pieces, along with more than 300 illustrations that provide context, from the 1920s to the 1980s, including many iconic items of vintage fashion, from Marilyn Monroe's bra to Ossie Clark's dress made famous by David Hockney's painting.
Each garment is explored from the perspective of the modern fashionista wishing to build a vintage wardrobe. The book is organized into three main sections. The 'Decades' section investigates the shapes and fabrics that define each era's look. The 'Elements' section examines the individual components of a vintage look, from hats to shoes. The 'Features' section explores timeless themes of fashion, from florals to the ever-popular Little Black Dress.
Finally, it includes a reference section containing valuable practical tips for fans and collectors of vintage fashion.
