This wonderful book is packed full of all kinds of fashion illustrations, as well as a helpful chronology narrated by Blackman, that any lover of fashion - be it history or practical application - is sure to enjoy. My only complaint is that there weren't enough illustrations; there were a tonne, but I give me more!
Cover with all of illustration.Don't miss it!!
