Description

By the second half of the 1920s, old-fashioned Victorian morals had gone the way of starched collars and cruel corsets and a "no holds barred" attitude reigned in their place. "The Party of the Century" had begun in earnest and fashions responded by climbing to the knees!

Using a combination of vintage images, professional photographs of existing garments, and period artists' illustrations, this comprehensive book presents a dazzling look at fashions from 1925 through 1929.

Fashions for men, women, and children are featured, including evening andday wear, coats and jackets, lounge and resort wear, sports fashions, and lingerie.

Whenever possible, styles are shown with their appropriate accessories, such as hats, shoes, purses, fans, parasols, and more.

Fascinating timelines place the fashions in their proper settings describing each year's film, music, literary, and couture trends.

Among the book's many highlights are rare French pochoir fashion plates and photos of an original haute couture Chanel evening gown.

This in-depth look at one of our most exciting decades will appeal to fashion enthusiasts and history buffs alike.

A companion volume covers the years 1920 to 1924.
