Fashion since 1900 (Art World). Amy de la Haye, Valerie D. Mendes

What shaped modern fashion? How has it changed from the early 20th century to today? This book offers a fascinating journey through the history of style - from the fashion revolutions of the 1900s to the current trends of the new millennium. Through key changes in silhouettes, materials and aesthetics, it shows how fashion responded to wars, social shifts, technological progress and cultural transformations.

Drawing on the work of the most influential designers and iconic fashion movements, the publication reveals fashion as a reflection of the times and a way of thinking. Here, fashion appears not only as clothing, but as a language that tells about society, identity and freedom of expression. The publication contains 315 vivid illustrations and a useful reference section with a bibliography.
