Books Well Read - January 2009

When Fashion is Art

January 26th 2009 21:29

FASHION
From the 18th to the 20th Century
The Kyoto Costume Institute
Taschen 2004

There are times when fashion truly is haute couture. This book illustrates some excellent examples of this ranging from 18th century court robes and suits up to recent words by Japanese designers. The excellent costume shows the cut and drape of garments along with close up details of fabric weave and embroidery.

Whether you're a designer of textiles or clothes or interested in the history of costume or embroidery you'll find this compact small book info and image rich and useful.


Enjoy!
