Paperback. Zustand: New. Print on Demand. This book explores the social and fashion history of France, from the standpoint of its most ridiculous customs and ephemeral trends. The author, a keen observer of human folly, writes with humour and insight about the French obsession with fashion and status, as expressed in the foibles… and eccentricities of French society, from the ancien rà gime to the early 19th century. The book delves into the absurdity of constantly changing fashions and the practice of mimicking historical styles, with the author drawing a contrast between the innate good taste of the French people and their tendency towards the ridiculous. With its charming anecdotes and satirical wit, this book reveals the power of fashion to shape not only how we dress, but how we see ourselves. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format.
