Fashion: The Mirror of History

400 pp. With more than 700 illustrations, including 120 in color. "...a charming, irreverent study of fashion from the legendary fig leaf to the "great masquerade of the 1960s and the eclecticism of the present." It is beautifully illustrated with hundreds of photographs, along with sketches, paintings, and caricatures. ...a view of social values--prestige, sexual mores, attitudes toward money, heroes, role models, religious beliefs, and political opinions."
