5.0 out of 5 stars Every Costumer should own this book, Oct 26 2007
By Carol C. "Addicted to Makeup" - Published on Amazon.com

This review is from: The Concise History of Costume and Fashion. (Hardcover)
Probably the best book published on the history of costume. It should be on the shelf of every costume designer. Fabulous research and wonderful use of artwork (paintings) to show the historical fashions by date. It is the most comprehensive bible of fashion history in print today. Can't recommend it more highly. My Costume Design professor wants all her design students to invest in this book, as it is invaluable in researching historical dress. She's owned it for over a decade and uses it in the classroom with her students for practically every project.

5.0 out of 5 stars Pictures galore, Nov 15 2001
By "scottandkat" - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: 20000 Years of Fashion the History of F (Hardcover)
This book, published outside of the US as "A history of fashion in the west" is a must for anyone interested in clothing and its developement throught history. All the pictures are primary and the text is helpful and informative. my only regret is that it stops in the 1980's and has not alot on the 1950's. It is quite general but even so is a wonderful book.

This review is from: 20000 Years of Fashion the History of F (Hardcover)
I have to admit I really haven't read much of the book, but I don't really need to because the pictures more than speak for themselves. This is a great book for any costume history buff or really anyone who enjoys fashion.
