Product Description

Product Description

This reference provides a broad overview and in-depth information about individual categories of accessories and the materials and decorative features from which they are constructed. This encyclopedia is a comprehensive resource for anyone seeking information about fashion accessories. The text consists of two major parts: Components of Accessories, which includes materials and ornamental features; and Accessories, which covers all the major categories of contemporary fashion accessories. Each component or accessory category is introduced with a brief history and discussion of its significance to fashion. Its structure is described and illustrated in an anatomy section. A comprehensive list of terms and their definitions, based on the definitions of fashion accessories in The Fairchild Dictionary of Fashion, 3rd Edition, concludes each section.
