Fashion, New Edition: The Definitive Visual Guide (DK Definitive Cultural Histories)

This is a great book. Lots of beautiful photos. I am so interested in fashion, and this book is a great help.

First, this is a great coffee table book. I’m not sure how many, make and female, have picked it up to look at while in my living room. It covers many different fashion eras and gives an explanation of the designs. It is pretty interesting!

Are you a fashion lover?! If yes, ADD to Cart this stunning book full of inspiration for your eyes✨ Also the perfect fit for your coffee table 🫶🏼

This book is both beautiful and informative. It begins with prehistoric people and continues to today. It is very interesting to see how and why clothing styles evolved through the years. I gave it to my grandaughter for her birthday but may order one for myself!

Amazing read and great for fashion fans who need lots of history and pics.

For a guy, not very interested in fashion, this was a bit of a slog. Still, I wanted to see the evolution of fashion. The earlier centuries are characterized by clothes worn by the wealthy and leisure classes to show off their status. During the world wars, especially WWII, the clothing pictured in the book was simple, used less material, and was more utilitarian. In recent decades some fashion was bare and bizarre, designed to titillate. Others are just gross and ugly. Almost none of it would be worn by people living ordinary lives. The recent decades remind me of a quote: <b>“Fashion is a form of ugliness so intolerable that we have to alter it every six months.”</b> (Oscar Wilde 1890) This Kindle book, published by DK consists of images of pages. The layout of the book consists of 2-page spreads. Reading this book on a 12” iPad Pro entailed zooming in on the text and moving around in each image in order for the type to be large enough to read (larger than 4 point). Fortunately, there is enough resolution for it to enlarge well. There is an extensive “Illustrated Glossary” and Index at the back.

Love my book

Vibrant and fun coffee table book. Great accessory for bookshelves due to thickness And size

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!

Super schönes coffee table book. Hochwertig, interessant und schön. Mag es sehr gerne.

This is a course book for Costuming and the tons of photos are very helpful as they each have important descriptions. Highly recommend if you are into historical fashions

En principio el libro llego en excelentes condiciones, sin ningun golpe. Además el precio en que lo conseguí ha valido la pena. El contenido es de muy buena calidad, no solo en la información, sino en las imagenes, impresion, calidad del papel, etc. Sin duda un buen libro a considerar para todos los amantes de la moda.

Very useful for students of fashion design and person interested in understanding fashion history
