Moda. La storia completa

The Whole Story

by Marnie Fogg

"Moda. La storia completa" ripercorre l'evoluzione della moda dalle origini ai giorni nostri, soffermandosi sugli snodi storici più significativi. Con un'attenzione particolare ai fenomeni contemporanei, il libro delinea il percorso che ha portato un bisogno elementare, quello di coprirsi per ripararsi dalle intemperie, a divenire un tratto essenziale di ogni civiltà, e che continua ancora oggi a identificare e appassionare le persone di ogni età e ceto sociale. Dai telai a mano ai macchinari più moderni, dalle fibre naturali ai nuovi materiali, dagli abiti su misura al prêt-à-porter e ai consumi di massa, ogni aspetto della moda è scandagliato e inserito nel contesto storico e sociale che l'ha prodotto, senza dimenticare i collegamenti con l'arte e l'architettura e il ruolo cruciale della moda nella società dell'immagine.

Reviews

[Pushon Bhattacharya · Rating 4 out of 5]

A deep and comprehensive look at what humans have worn throughout history, touching upon numerous different countries and cultures. The best part of reading this tome was discovering just how foppish the English have been throughout history, given how much they make fun of French people for that!

[Louise Armstrong · Rating 3 out of 5]

I didn't know what rating to give this book because it looks gorgeous, and the photos are amazing and I LOVE that it covers clothes from other cultures, but, the main text is in 10 point, which I rather optimistically thought I could manage for my favourite subject, but the captions and the shout out boxes are in 8 point font, which gave me a headache. I tried just looking at the pictures, but kept sucked in to reading just a little bit and BAM, headache again.

I'd love to find a hard back with larger font.
