Miller's Collecting Fashion and Accessories

Despre carte

From the 20's flapper dresses to 1940's twin-sets, 1970 avant-garde catwalk creations of the designers of the 1990s, the mass of fashion created in the 20th century offers something for every sartorial taste. This acccessible book takes a closer look at the increasingly popular area of collecting, covering styles from the beginning of the century to present day. For easy reference, this book is divided into decades and then subdivided into daywear, evening wear, underwear, accessories and menswear, with special parts dedicated to unisex clothing included under the 1970s and 1990s. It delves into key designers and trends and is packed with useful tips on how to spot a deal. Practical advice on where to buy is also included, along with information on how to take care of your collection, a glossary of handy terms and references for further reading.
