Adorned in Dreams by Elizabeth Wilson
Traces the social and cultural history of fashion and its complex relationship to modernity. This work explores the grunge look inspired by bands like Nirvana, the 'boho chic' of the mid 90's, retro-dressing and the meanings of dress from the veil to Beck's pink-varnished toenails.
'Elizabeth Wilson is internationally recognised as an authority on fashion, and this is her masterpiece' - Valerie Steele
