Emmanuelle Dirix is a lecturer, writer and curator based in London. She lecturesin Critical and Historical Studies at Chelsea College of Art & Design, Central SaintMartin's, the Royal College of Art, and the Antwerp Fashion Academy. She regularlycontributes to exhibition catalogues and books on fashion, textiles and body politics,including Birds of Paradise: Plumes & Feathers in Fashion, Unravel: Knitwear in Fashionand a series of fashion sourcebooks that cover the 1930s, 1940s, 1950s and 1970s.
From the Golden Age of Haute Couture in the 1900s to the lifestyle brands of the 1990s, this book looks, decade-by-decade, at the high fashion of the 20th century. Each chapter examines the significant stylistic changes that occurred in the decade in question, and places these in their cultural and political context. The book is illustrated throughout with photographs and drawings of the clothes and the people who wore them. Alongside the individual chapters, three designers that made their mark on fashion are discussed, as well as three key looks per decade. Many of the designers are household names; some are lesser known. But all these individuals, whether through their designs or their business practices, are exemplars of their age.
A lively history of fashion in the 20th century, and a great source of inspiration for designers. Each chapter provides profiles of key designers and a detailed overview of fashion design from each decade of the 20th century.
