Overview

Comprehensive and lavishly illustrated -- a who's who of fashion. Published in association with Vogue magazine, Vogue Fashion is the definitive style bible for everyone interested in the past, present and future of fashion. It takes a fresh look at fashion history, charting the evolution from corsets to 21st-century trends. This stylish book chronicles all the significant designers, developments and movements of more than a hundred years of fashion -- from the 1920s flapper through the war years, from Christian Dior's New Look to the Swinging Sixties, from New Romanticism to punk to postmillenium styles. Among current designers featured are Vera Wang, Roberto Cavalli, Luella Bartley, Zac Posen, Roland Mouret and Viktor and RoIf. An A to Z section highlights over 250 of the greatest designers of all time -- the men and women who have inspired, created and altered the course of fashion. Illustrated with many eye-catching archival images, Vogue Fashion also features the work of the photographers who have helped immortalize seminal fashion moments. Vogue Fashion is an informative and inspirational look at how fashion reflects and projects social mores and individual values.

With vintage photos and illustrations, Vogue Fashion gives a history lesson. A must for would-be fashionistas. It takes Vogue magazine to describe dressing as the fourth bodily function (after breathing, eating and sleeping), but that introduction sets the tone for an entertaining and informative, wonderfully illustrated book called Vogue Fashion: Over 100 Years of Style by Decade and Designer.... In addition to 600 photos and illustrations in the 408-page book, each with a caption about style trends featured in the design, the book is fun to read, thanks to fashion writer Linda Watson's lightly sardonic tone and insider knowledge.
