The author has a pretty funny, dry style. Much of the book covers the time before photography and they use period sculpture and painting to illustrate the clothing and concepts (as that is the source of nearly all of the information). I could have used a few simple drawings to illustrate specific styles and pieces of clothing though, sometimes I had a hard time knowing exactly what was being referred to. This older edition I read covers from the earliest times to just before WWII, with only a chapter by another author at the end covering from the 40’s to the early 80’s. It may be quite different from the later editions. I love these World of Art books, the paper, pictures and quality of the printing is great. For a trade paperback of 288 pages to cover human costume from paleolithic times to the mini-skirt would be something of a miracle. Alas, Mr Laver does it by leaving out the 13th century (except for a picture of Uta, who covers herself up with her cloak). Still, the book is an enjoyable read. The wonderful illustrations provide proof that our own time is not the silliest in history. ei arvosteluja | lisää arvostelu

From the momentous invention of the needle some 40,000 years ago to the development of blue denim, this classic guide covers the landmarks of costume history, the forms and materials used through the ages, as well as the ways in which clothes have been used to protect, to express identity, and to attract or influence others. For the fifth edition, Amy de la Haye, former Curator of Twentieth-Century Dress at the Victoria and Albert Museum, has revised the final chapter and included a new section addressing the fashion industry in the twenty-first century. She discusses the expansion of the Asian luxury market; the rise of "fast fashion," stylists, and celebrity endorsements; and the influence of the Internet. Kirjastojen kuvailuja ei löytynyt. |
