This is a very interesting book with a different approach to the history of costume. Each day of the year features something "worn on this day" from ancient to modern times. I only wish that there were more photographs, and that none of the photographs that were included had been placed in the center of a two page. Much of the detail is lost in the "gutter" in the finished book. It's disappointing in an otherwise well designed book. aucune critique | ajouter une critique
This stunning visual guide is a journey of discovery through fashion's fascinating history, one day at a time. Beginning on January 1st and ending on December 31st, Worn On This Day looks at garments worn on monumental occasions across centuries, offering capsule fashion histories of everything from space suits to wedding gowns, Olympics uniforms, and armor. It creates thought-provoking juxtapositions, like Wallis Simpson's June wedding and Queen Elizabeth's June coronation, or the battered shoes Marie-Antoinette and a World Trade Center survivor wore to escape certain death, just a few calendar days apart. In every case there is a newsworthy narrative behind the garment, whether famous and glamorous or anonymous and humble. Prominent figures like Abraham Lincoln, Marilyn Monroe, and the Duchess of Cambridge are represented alongside ordinary people caught up in extraordinary events. Beautifully illustrated throughout, Worn On This Day presents a revelatory mash-up of styles, stories, and personalities. Aucune description trouvée dans une bibliothèque |
