Dzięki niej poznacie przebieg ewolucji mody, okres za okresem, trend za trendem, a podane najważniejsze w danym przedziale czasowym wydarzenia ułatwią zrozumienie kontekstu historycznego i kulturowego.

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.
