About this product

Product Information

A History from the 18th to the 20th Century Clothes define people. A person's clothing, whether it's a sari, kimono, or business suit, is an essential key to his or her culture, class, personality, or even religion. The Kyoto Costume Institute recognizes the importance of understanding clothing sociologically, historically, and artistically. Founded in 1978, the KCI holds one of the world's most extensive clothing collections and has curated many exhibitions worldwide. With an emphasis on Western women's clothing, the KCI has amassed a wide range of historical garments, underwear, shoes, and fashion accessories dating from the 18th century to the present day. Showcasing a vast selection from the Institute's archives of skilled photographs depicting the clothing expertly displayed and arranged on custom-made mannequins, Fashion History is a fascinating excursion through the last three centuries of clothing trends. The KCI believes that "clothing is an essential manifestation of our very being" and their passion and dedication positively radiate from every page of this book. This special 25th anniversary edition has a chic new format: two volumes packaged in a slipcase.

    Not what I expected

    Great pictures and weighs a ton. Because of its size, I thought reading through it would give me so much inspiration and many ideas. However, I skimmed through it having no urge to start sketching. There was too much focus on historic clothing and not enough on modern(50s-present). I was slightly disaapointed with the designs featured as some were so over the top that they were merely there to gawk at. I wanted to see a lot of interesting silhouettes and cuts. I just wasn't inspired.

    A Paris Treasure

    I found these books at a Paris flea market. Due to the heavy weight I could not bring them back in my carry-on luggage. I was pleased to find them when I returned to the states.

    Stunning Book

    The shipping was speedy & the book is stunning. The Kyoto Institute has an amazing collection of period wear--these excellent photos are taken of those pieces. I already had a set of the books, but bought this for my dear friend, who had borrowed mine for months, and really didn't want to return it.
