Fabulous Frocks - Rilegato
Sinossi
A stunning celebration of the dress, featuring the most innovative, inspirational, controversial, and covetable from 1908 to 2013 No item of clothing has endured for longer than the dress. Yet the last century alone has seen the most radical changes of style—hemlines swinging from ankle to thigh, outlines alternating between the body-hugging and the bell—and our fascination with the frock has not gone away. From Gres' draping to Dior's New Look, from Mary Quant's mini to Hussein Chalayan's mechanical marvels, this book looks at the dress in 20th-century fashion. Thematic chapters—Changes, Feminine, Sex, Must-Haves, Fantasy, Classical, and Art—set out the inspirations and implications for each new change alongside the stunning photography. It has been more than 80 years since Coco Chanel invented the little black dress, but most women still have one in their wardrobes today. It’s been decades since women discovered pants and separates, but many women dream of wearing a glorious, glamorous gown at least once, whether it's on a Hollywood red carpet or on her wedding day.

Paperback. Condizione: Very Good. No item of clothing has endured for longer than the dress. Yet the last century alone has seen the most radical changes of style - hemlines swinging from ankle to thigh; outlines alternating between the body-hugging and the bell - and our fascination with the 'frock' has not gone away. From Gres draping to Diors New Look, from Mary Quants mini to Hussein Chalayans mechanical marvels, this book looks at the dress in twentieth century fashion. Thematic chapters Changes, Feminine, Seduction, Must-haves, Fantasy, Classical and Art set out the inspirations and implications for each new change alongside the stunning photography. It is more than eighty years since Coco Chanel invented the little black dress, but every woman still has one in her wardrobe today. Its decades since women discovered trousers and separates, but every woman dreams of wearing a glorious, glamorous gown at least once, whether its on a Hollywood red carpet, or just on her wedding day. Fabulous Frocks is a book to fire a fashionista's imagination. The book has been read, but is in excellent condition. Pages are intact and not marred by notes or highlighting.
