Illustrated Encyclopedia of Costume and Fashion

From the simplicity of eleventh century dress to the excesses of punk, this invaluable work depicts the ever-changing modes of almost one thousand years. Now in an enlarged edition, this volume adds another 500 years to its previous coverage, to include the very beginning of any significant clothing style to appear after A.D. 1000, following through comprehensively with a new series of fashion plates showing the styles of the last few years that have succeeded in establishing themselves.
