Product Description
Book Description
Fashion Sourcebooks is a series of beautifully illustrated paperbacks that surveys the development of women's and men's clothing from 1900 onward, with a volume devoted to each decade. Fashion in the 1980s tended toward the functional and the formal. The typical "power dressed" woman of the period wore her shoulders wide, her skirts short, and her heels high, while sometimes colorful and relaxed men's fashions of the 1970s gave way to more conventional dressing. The year-by-year format of this book allows these developments to be shown in fascinating detail. Day and evening wear, sportswear, and accessories are included, and complete descriptions of each garment accompany the drawings. The reference section charts the evolution of fashion, and provides biographies of outstanding 1980s designers and a bibliography.

This review is from: Fashion Sourcebooks 1980s (Paperback)
The 1980's Fashion Sourcebook was somewhat useful as there is little else written about such a recent decade. Original sources (internet) were more helpful although more time consuming. Peacock's drawing style has always been difficult to translate to real bodies and the small size of the publication and the faint color make it even less helpful as a costume design research tool.

the 1980's fashion sourcebooks, Mar 12 2006
By C. Davies "costumer" - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Fashion Sourcebooks 1980s (Paperback)
I expected more normal everyday fashions of the 8o's to help remind me of what I wore to costume a play. very little pictures, nothing usable for me. The written information was enjoyable reading and helped jogged my memory, but I wanted pictures.
