About this product

Product Information

A panorama of unusual costume designs from more than two centuries of European fashion history - ranging from Neo-Classicism and Biedermeier to the late twentieth century - and including cutting-edge creations by European fashion designers as well as aspiring 'young stars on the fashion firmament'. These fashion designs show how ideals of beauty change, often defined by prevailing fashions and shaping the female silhouette in spectacular ways. Focusing on the aspect of 'moulding femininity', scholarly essays and 150 superb illustrations not only trace the basic lines on which fashion history has developed but also sheds a probing light on the relationship between the female body and the clothing which adorns it.
