Clothing has been a consistent recorder of history through the years, documenting the heights of fashion as it threaded its way through post-war society.
Bringing the Jazz Age to life through the clothes of the flappers and "Thoroughly Modern Millies," "Fashions of a Decade: The 1920s" revisits an important part of social and cultural history.
Although this is part of the Fashions of a Decade series, there is almost as much here about the decade as there is about the fashion. The excellent photographs and illustrations, many from ads and magazines of the era, emphasize what was being shown by designers and worn by everyday women, but the text also discusses what was going on in the world: the cold war, segregation, the Cuban Revolution, and the role of women in society.
Completely revised in full-color, "Fashions of a Decade: The 1930s" examines the role of fashion as it made its way through the Great Depression, exploring the social and cultural aspects of history through a softer lens.
