Vintage fashion sourcebook (Abridged ed)

For those interested in collecting and wearing vintage, as well as for anyone fascinated by looking at past influences for inspiration when developing their own individual look, "Vintage Fashion Sourcebook" offers a decade by decade look at the fashions of the twentieth century.

Pointers on sourcing and caring for original vintage pieces are provided, while 'key looks' pages target defining fashion trends - from Coco Chanel's Style Russe in the 1920s and Christian Dior's A-line dresses in the 1950s to Emilio Pucci's psychedelic 1970s prints and Azzedine Alaia's 'body con' fashions of the 1980s.

It is of interest to any fashionista, whether they what they are looking at when they bargain hunt in charity shops, or are simply interested in developing their own unique look based on pieces that inspire them from the past.
