Fashion Sourcebooks: The 1960s
John Peacock
|
The 1960s were dominated by young fashion. For women, the mature sophistication of the 1950s gave way to a straight, mini-skirted, girlish silhouette. Radical developments also took place in men’s fashion.
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 summarizing at a glance the evolution of fashion and garment-shapes, as well as biographies of outstanding 1960s 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.
