Fashion History: From Rococo Elegance To Modernist Silhouettes (18Th–20Th Century)

Description

Fashion History: From the 18th to the 20th Century by Taschen is a richly layered journey through the shifting silhouettes, textures, and cultural meanings of clothing across three transformative centuries. Drawing from the unparalleled archives of the Kyoto Costume Institute, the book brings history to life with exquisite photography of garments, from corsets to couture, meticulously displayed on custom mannequins. Each piece is explored not just as fashion, but as a mirror of its time: a reflection of class, culture, gender, and identity.
