Product Description
Book Description
A reissue of one of the V&A’s most glamorous titles, Modern Fashion in Detail celebrates the art and craft of designer clothes, seen here in glorious close-up.
The intricacies of 20th-century fashion are revealed through a range of techniques, from metallic raised embroidery by Schiaparelli and studwork by Katherine Hamlett to the softer fathers, pleats and bows by designers such as Balmain, Zandra Rhodes and Yuki. Sequins, elaborate lace, feathers and delightfully witty buttons complete the picture, while exquisite construction is revealed through pockets, seams and overstitching.
Outstanding photography brings the fabric and effects to life while each detail is accompanied by a clear line drawing showing the garment as a whole. This is an innovative approach to fashion publishing which has been successfully applied to historical fashion in a companion volume, Historical Fashion in Detail, launched alongside this reissue. --This text refers to an alternate Paperback edition.

EXQUISITE!,
By Floradora "littlegloria" (Tasmania Australia) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Modern Fashion In Detail (Paperback)
This book is truly gorgeous with its fantastic close up photographs of details of 20th century garments. There are chapters devoted to bows, to buttons, sleeves and so on. This book actually came before Avril Hart's "Fashion in detail - 17th & 18th Century Clothes" and together they will keep you occupied for many hours. I only wish there were more volumes. Sheer heaven!

Misleading title,

This review is from: Modern Fashion In Detail (Paperback)
Be sure to notice the small print under the main title "in Detail". This seems to be a book for a seamstress. It is all close up details, no full length pix at all, which is good if that is what you want. I wasn't thorough enough when I ordered this, and expected a book called "Modern Fashion" to be something different. So, just be sure this is what you are looking for. I would return it, or give it to a friend who sews or likes these details.
