VINTAGE FASHION A SOURCEBOOK - NICKY ALBRECHTSE...

The most ambitious and comprehensive book on women¿s vintage fashion ever published  featuring
over 1 000 garments dating from the 1920s to the 1980s. This is not just another history of
fashion: it is a survey of how fashion past continues to inspire fashion present. It features
over 1 000 stand-out pieces  together with over 300 contextual illustrations  dating from the
1920s to the 1980s  including many icons of vintage fashion  from Marilyn Monroe¿s bra to the
Ossie Clark dress made so famous by David Hockney¿s painting. Each garment is explored from the
viewpoint of the contemporary fashionista looking to build a vintage wardrobe. The book is
organized into three main sections. 'Decades' explores the shapes and fabrics that define the
look of each period. 'Elements' explores the individual components of a vintage look 
everything from hat to shoes. 'Hallmarks' explores fashion¿s perennial themes  from florals to
the ever-popular Little Black Dress. Finally  a reference section includes invaluable practical
advice for fans and collectors of vintage.
