The feel-good place to buy books
History of Twentieth Century Fashion by Elizabeth Ewing
The first edition of this book established itself as required reading for all those interested in the development of the fashion business. There are other books on contemporary dress, but this account gives particular weight to the commercial organization of the industry; from designer and textile manufacturer right through to the consumer. This completely revised edition brings the story up to the 1990s with new text, 280 illustrations and 16 color plates.
Elizabeth Ewing, who died in 1986, wrote widely on fashion as well as theatre and drama. Her books include Everyday Dress, Dress and Undress and History of Children's Costume. Alice Mackrell is a costume historian specializing in the history of fashion plates. She is the author of Shawls, Stoles and Scarves and Paul Poiret, both published by Batsford.
