DESCRIPTION:
Revolution in Fashion OzReader This is an excellent pictorial guide to 18th and early 19th Century clothing explored through very creatively put together displays of actual clothing. If the reader is looking for a book crammed full of quality photographs and little text this is it. However, the book is out of print and hard to find at a reasonable price. Most of the photographs are repeated in a newer book, also by the Kyoto Institute, called FASHION, so it is worthwhile considering the latter book instead, given the high price of Revolution in Fashion on the secondary market. . a most gorgeous exhibition catalogue K. Maxwell This is an outstanding exhibition catalogue from Japan (thankfully written in English). It has the most fabulous, clear photos of 18th, early 19th century costume.If you have any interst in European Fashion during this period try and get your hands on a copy of this outstanding book.It has worthwile text, but the photos are the real find.. The most wonderful book on 18th century fashion This is the best book on the costumes of the 18th century that I have ever found. Page after page of gorgeous garments are clearly photographed and beautifully displayed. It is inpirational.
