Publisher Description
Is fashion your passion? Unlock the language of clothes with this ultimate fashion show that traces people's dresses over the past 3000 years.
Fashion is a visual feast, packed with stunning illustrations of 1,500 costumes from around the globe. It celebrates famous trendsetters, designers, and fashion icons from Queen Henrietta Maria to Jackie Onassis and Jean Paul Gautier.
Fashion endlessly reinvents itself, reflecting society's trends and innovations. Discover why different looks caught on, from the elaborate ruffs, wigs, and farthingales of the 17th century, to Dior's "new look" in 1947 and shoulder pads in the 1980s. Find out why for centuries people's dress was regulated by governments' "sumptuary rules" and how the invention of new textiles from velvet to spandex that influenced clothing design.
Whether you're part of the fashion industry, a student, or you just love clothes, Fashion is both a glorious visual treat and a treasured history.
Customer Reviews
Meh
DK needs to do a lot of work on this. The images are beautiful, but you can't make the screen bigger, so the writing is really small, and you can't zoom in on details except on ten special images. That seems like a really, really basic function to be missing.
There's only a few videos, and they're very short. (No talking, just clips of dances etc.)
Until they make improvements, you're better off with a fashion website, or buying DK books.
SCAM, DO NOT BUY
This version only has around 250 pages while the ACTUAL one has 480 pages… what is this? Am I paying for half of book…? Do not buy hoping it’s the same as the hardcopy version, I’m so disappointed.
