"Costumes Worldwide" brings together for the first time the works of the two classic costume illustrators from the 19th century, Auguste Racinet and Friedrich Hottenroth. Their works are presented first in chronological order, then in thematic order. Readers have the choice of following the changes in fashion through the centuries or studying the style differences of individual items of clothing and accessories in detail. Silhouettes illustrate the changing silhouette of the clothing. Cross-references draw attention to recurring motifs and a register bar helps with the journey through the chronological sequence of the costumes. With explanations by respected experts in the field of period costume, powerful contemporary quotations reflecting the meaning of fashion style in its time, detailed commentary and an extensive glossary, this book is an excellent overview of fashion’s rich vocabulary over the centuries.
