About This Item
New York, NY: Holmes & Meier Pub, 1986. hardcover. Very Good/Very Good. 9x7x0. Jacket has minor shelf wear, binding tight, pages clean and unmarked. Many people consider haute couture died in 1950 when ready-to-wear fashion came on the market. Since then fashion has undergone fundamental changes. Nonetheless, there will always be a certain demand for beautiful, individually made clothes, but the future will never be as lavish and as magnificent as the period here investigated. The author traces its history from Charles Frederick Worth, the first global fashion dictator and Imperial French dressmaker, to Geoffrey Wallis who wished to make good design available to all.
