Vintage Fashion: A Sourcebook

Explore the enduring influence of fashion past on the present with this comprehensive survey of women's vintage fashion. Featuring over 1,000 garments and 300 contextual illustrations, this book showcases iconic pieces from the 1920s to the 1980s, including the Ossie Clark dress made famous by David Hockney's painting.

Organized into three main sections, 'Decades' examines the defining shapes and fabrics of each period, while 'Elements' breaks down the individual components of a vintage look. The 'Hallmarks' section explores fashion's perennial themes, from florals to the Little Black Dress. A reference section provides invaluable practical advice for fans and collectors of vintage fashion.
