DKFashion, New Edition: The Definitive Visual Guide (DK Definitive Cultural Histories)

First, this is a great coffee table book. I’m not sure how many, make and female, have picked it up to look at while in my living room. It covers many different fashion eras and gives an explanation of the designs. It is pretty interesting!

Loved the book amazing information and great visuals Highly recommend

Amazing read and great for fashion fans who need lots of history and pics.

Vibrant and fun coffee table book. Great accessory for bookshelves due to thickness And size

Very informative. Good pictures and affordable.Very satisfied with my purchase.

For a guy, not very interested in fashion, this was a bit of a slog. Still, I wanted to see the evolution of fashion.The earlier centuries are characterized by clothes worn by the wealthy and leisure classes to show off their status.During the world wars, especially WWII, the clothing pictured in the book was simple, used less material, and was more utilitarian.In recent decades some fashion was bare and bizarre, designed to titillate. Others are just gross and ugly. Almost none of it would be worn by people living ordinary lives.The recent decades remind me of a quote: <b>“Fashion is a form of ugliness so intolerable that we have to alter it every six months.”</b> (Oscar Wilde 1890)This Kindle book, published by DK consists of images of pages. The layout of the book consists of 2-page spreads. Reading this book on a 12” iPad Pro entailed zooming in on the text and moving around in each image in order for the type to be large enough to read (larger than 4 point). Fortunately, there is enough resolution for it to enlarge well.There is an extensive “Illustrated Glossary” and Index at the back.

Very interesting and lots of cool information if you’re into history and design.

Wonderful addition to my collection. Book is very heavy and filled with alot of information about fashion. You will not regret your purchase.
