Description
The 1930s Fashion: the Definitive Sourcebook by Charlotte Fiell is an in-depth guide to the iconic styles of the decade. Packed with over 500 original photographs, illustrations and sketches from the era, this volume offers a unique insight into the fashion of the time. From the bias cut to the puff sleeve, the tea dress to the floor-length evening gown, the 1930s saw new looks emerge and thrive despite economic and social uncertainty. The book features images from popular fashion publications, mail-order catalogues and Hollywood studio press shots, including material from Chic Parisien, Harper's Bazaar, Sears, La Femme Chic and film studios Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer and Paramount. Authored by renowned design historian Charlotte Fiell, the book also includes an authoritative introduction by fashion historian Emmanuelle Dirix, as well as biographies of the key designers and fashion houses of the period.
