The Chronology of Fashion by N J Stevenson

The Chronology of Fashion traces the history of fashion from the late 18th century up to the present. Highly illustrated, this book should be a must for anyone interested in fashion and its development.

[Stevenson] perceptively charts the influences and evolution of styles over a period of time.. Complimenting Stevenson's refreshing textual approach which brings a real clarity to the multi-layered development of styles, innovatively the book magnifies key details on specific pictures, and utilises fabric swatches and silhouettes, all of which combine to make this highly informed and readable book also a highly useable resource. * Plectrum *
Dressmakers, desingers, costume makers and those interested in fashion history, vintage clothing and retro styling will love this title ... a fascinating book to read as well as a delight to peruse * Sewing World *
