'100 years of fashion'

100 years of fashion by Cally Blackman documents in pictures the most exciting and diverse period of fashion; from 1900 to today, covering high society, uniforms, sportswear, street wear and couture. The last 100 years of fashion bore witness to a huge transformation. The restricted corsetry of the early twentieth century gave way to looser styles such as those made fashionable by french fashion designer Paul Poiret. As women's lives changed dramatically under the shadow of 2 World Wars, so the style of female dress was altered beyond recognition. From home dressmaking to couture, from rationing to 'The New Look,' from the birth of the teenager to mass manufacture, from high society to celebrity culture. 

The book itself includes over 400 photographs and illustrations, many published for the first time, which tell the story of a fashion revolution.
