A Gift I Didn't Want to Gift...
A brilliant book, purchased for my friend's daughter, who is easily bored. However this book has really piqued her interest, she's taken it to school and is really keen to learn more. I really struggled to part with the book, and would like a copy for myself.... I studied fashion history as part of a module on design and decorative art at uni, many years back, and this book is academic and factual whilst still engaging younger minds too. There are many illustrations, so it is visually exciting also. Thoroughly worth the money!

Comprehensive coffee table book
Excellent coverage, impressive and well-produced (large!) book, very good value. It gives a thorough insight into the development of clothing and fashion from the earliest times up to now, with some forays into the quirks along the way. Good for dipping into as well as reading to produce a continuous narrative.

Fashion
Very interesting. First time I ever read anything about fashion and I enjoyed it a lot. I found it very compelling to flick through and see the illustrations. I especially enjoyed learning about historical clothing.

Wonderful book - great value for money
This is an excellent book that provides a comprehensive history of fashion over the centuries, placing in its social and cultural context. Thousands of wonderful images with detailed descriptions and a very useful glossary at the end of the volume. A great resource for anyone interested in fashion and a wonderful coffee table book for everyone to browse (the fluoro lime green cover is a bit strong on the eye but I understand it is consistent with the editorial choice made by DK for their visual guides’ series). The book is also great value for money and was delivered in pristine conditions earlier than expected so happy on all fronts!
