Since the invention of photography there has not been a history of fashion completely illustrated by photographs -- until this one.

"One must always wear a hat when lunching with people whom one does not know well," observed Coco Chanel, "because one appears to one's best advantage." The couturier's regard for the power of hats to confer dignity and attractiveness upon the wearer stems from a long historical tradition. In addition to its practical uses -- warding off the effects of harsh weather or an enemy's assault, for example -- a stylish hat has always made a statement of rank, elegance, or self-esteem.
This remarkable book presents an illustrated view of 2,000 years of head coverings. Over 800 drawings by... "One must always wear a hat when lunching with people whom one does not know well," observed Coco Chanel, "because one appears to one's best advantage...

ISBN: 9780520214934 / Angielski / Twarda / 313 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. In 1666, King Charles II felt it necessary to reform Englishmen's dress by introducing a fashion that developed into the three-piece suit. We learn what inspired this royal revolution in masculine attire--and the reasons for its remarkable longevity--in David Kuchta's engaging and handsomely illustrated account. Between 1550 and 1850, Kuchta says, English upper- and middle-class men understood their authority to be based in part upon the display of masculine character: how they presented themselves in public and demonstrated their masculinity helped define their political legitimacy, moral...
