Fashion Accessories jellemzők

Here, in 2,000 full-colour drawings, is the definitive history and most comprehensive sourcebook of twentieth-century fashion accessories ever published. Panoramic in scope, this encyclopaedic survey covers every kind of male and female accessory for both day and evening wear: hats and caps; shoes, boots, slippers and sandals; bags and purses; umbrellas and parasols; jewelry; scarves, stoles and capes; gloves and belts; and ties, cravats and bow-ties.
John Peacock's wide-ranging research, using not only paintings and photographs but also the accessories themselves, has allowed him to reproduce in detail every nuance of every article under his examination.
The drawings are arranged in 13-year sections and accompanied by complete descriptions of each accessory. Each section begins and ends with 'The Complete Look', a feature which sets the accessories in their context and shows their development during each period. A reference section contains a comprehensive bibliography and a nine-page chart showing at a glance how all the chief accessories for both men and women have evolved since 1900. Also included are more than 85 biographies of the century's most influential accessory designers, from Salvatore Ferragamo and Manolo Blahnik to Patrick Cox and Georgina von Etzdorf, plus short histories of companies - Gucci, Hermes, Camper, Dr. Martens, and others - who have played a vital role in accessory design.
