Description
Spanning the austerity of war to the introduction of Dior's revolutionary New Look, 1940s Fashion: The Definitive Sourcebook brings together vintage photography and illustrations to follow the season-by-season fashion evolution of the Forties.
This comprehensive survey covers every aspect of female fashions from the decade, from lace evening gowns and tailored jackets to figure-sculpting undergarments and satin negligées. Featuring iconic stars and designers of the time, including designs by Dior, Lucien Lelong, Balmain and Worth, this in-depth look at 1940s fashion offers the most authoritative appraisal of this age of wartime and post-war glamour.
