Melanie: If you want to learn about fashion history, you will get much value from this book! I love the many pictures of real clothes, paintings, and sculptures of costumes throughout history. I have yet to finish the book, but I have already learned so much and picked up on the names of many historic garments.
I believe this is a must-have book to learn and appreciate how costume and fashion have evolved over time.

Anne L-CAnne L-C: This book is chockfull of interesting information about the history of fashion. The photos are wonderful. I had to return my copy because some pages were not cut correctly and folded inward. Also, the cover colors are hideous…I have the Design book from this series which is wonderful…but this lime/fuchsia cover is garish and an eyesore in any room. And I like bold, modern color.

Virginia Urani: This book is both beautiful and informative. It begins with prehistoric people and continues to today. It is very interesting to see how and why clothing styles evolved through the years. I gave it to my grandaughter for her birthday but may order one for myself!

If you invite a book worm to your home they will enjoy taking a look. I love these books! The size is that textbook size I was looking for also.

Laura: This is an excellent book that provides a comprehensive history of fashion over the centuries, placing in its social and cultural context. Thousands of wonderful images with detailed descriptions and a very useful glossary at the end of the volume. A great resource for anyone interested in fashion and a wonderful coffee table book for everyone to browse (the fluoro lime green cover is a bit strong on the eye but I understand it is consistent with the editorial choice made by DK for their visual guides’ series). The book is also great value for money and was delivered in pristine conditions earlier than expected so happy on all fronts!
