Críticas:

[Stevenson] perceptively charts the influences and evolution of styles over a period of time ... Complimenting Stevenson's refreshing textual approach which brings a real clarity to the multi-layered development of styles, innovatively the book magnifies key details on specific pictures, and utilises fabric swatches and silhouettes, all of which combine to make this highly informed and readable book also a highly useable resource. (Plectrum)

Dressmakers, desingers, costume makers and those interested in fashion history, vintage clothing and retro styling will love this title ... a fascinating book to read as well as a delight to peruse (Sewing World)

Reseña del editor:

The Chronology of Fashion
traces the history of fashion from the late 18th century up to the
present. Following a strict chronology, it pinpoints the times
when a
distinctive style of suit or dress, hat or handbag, cut or style of hair or fabric, or indeed an entire look attained its peak of popularity and influence. Highly illustrated with
full figure images, silhouettes and swatches of materials, the book
also looks at key designers, how fashion has played a crucial role in art and film, and the trends that identified and defined various periods. This book
should be a must for anyone interested in fashion and its development.
