Summary "This provocative new survey of the past 150 years of Fashion covers everything from Haute Couture to the High Street, from Coco Chanel to Alexander McQueen. Christopher Breward explores fashion as a significant cultural force, examining the glamorous world of Vogue and advertising, the relationship between fashion and art, and fashion as a global enterprise." "Venturing beneath the surface, Breward considers how our ideas about hygiene and comfort have influenced the direction of style, and how important dress is in forming our identity and status - from Flapper to New Look, Dandy to Punk."--Jacket
