A beautiful book to look at, with some interesting analysis of what the Japanese designers were getting at when they burst upon the fashion world in the early 1980's.
Geschichte der Kleider, sehr spannend, von der Männermode des Mittelalters bis heute, sehr detailliert
Fremdwort an Fremdwort, eine Straffung des Textes wäre nötig gewesen, nur für wirkliche Fans der Geschichte der Mode in den letzten Jahrhunderten.
