Fashion Sourcebooks: The 1930s
John Peacock
|
In the 1930s, the boyish look of the previous decade gave way to a more feminine silhouette, which defined the waist, accentuated the shoulders and narrowed the hips.
The year-by-year format allows these changes to be shown in fascinating detail. Day Wear, Evening War, Sports and Leisure Wear, Accessories, Underwear and Wedding Wear are included, and complete descriptions of each garment accompany the drawings, itemizing colour, cut, necklines, lapels, sleeves, pockets, fastenings, buttons, belts, etc.
The reference section includes a chart showing the evolution of fashion and garment-shapes at a glance, as well as biographies of outstanding 1930s designers and a bibliography.
John Peacock’s Fashion Sourcebooks are destined to become an indispensable part of the library of any fashion enthusiast, historian or collector, and are sure to provide inspiration to any designer or student working in the performing arts.
