This eight-volume set captures the divergent styles and trends that have played such a crucial role in defining the 20th century. It chronicles the modern world's continual desire to express itself—and to mold itself—through fashion. Each decade from the 1920s to the 1990s is covered by a separate book. Each book is illustrated with original paintings and contemporary photographs, record jackets, advertisements, posters and more. The first section of each book provides an overview of the decade, examining fashion developments in the light of trends in the arts, technology, politics and living patterns. The second section is divided into eight four-page chapters highlighting key individual themes – such as “Stars of Stage and Screen,” “Art Deco” or “Power Dressing.” Each book includes a time chart, reading list, and glossary.
