Fashion by Ammonite Press
This fascinating book traces the development and style of womens and men's clothing from the end of the 19th century to the present day in an intriguing selection of fashion photography from the vast archives of the Mirror Group's Mirrorpix; a collection of images that spans more than a century of British and world history. Catwalk, studio and fashion-shoot photographs reflect the real-life social changes and attitudes that have influenced our fashion, from the bustles and heavy tightly-laced corsets of the Victorian era, through the softer, more fluid lines and brighter colours of the Edwardian period, to the conservative ration-driven outfits of the war years to the broad-shouldered business chic of the 1980s; and the more colourful, softer, more feminine clothes of the present day. Mens clothing, too, has undergone many changes during this period, from the simple, conservative suit for all occasions to a far wider, more casual and more colourful look. Here, too, are the designers, the models and celebrities who influenced what we wore over the course of more than a century.
PA Photos is the photography arm of the PA Group, which also owns the The Press Association, the UK's national news agency. Established in the late 19th Century, the PA has been capturing editorial photography for 140 years. Along the way, PA Photos has incorporated other great British photo libraries, such as Barratts and Sport & General, resulting in an extraordinary archive of over 15 million images recording British life over more than a century.
